1986 Map of Barton Spring

A notable historical corridor is preserved in the southern portion of the quadrangle where the Pony Express Trail crosses the terrain, running parallel to the modern Wooden Pole Trans Line. This juxtaposition of 19th-century mail routes and 20th-century utility infrastructure illustrates the enduring role of these mountain passes as vital transit corridors in the Great Basin. The map also delineates the Toiyabe National Forest boundary, where steep drainages like Ox Corral Creek and Bade Creek feed the lower basins.
