1986 Map of Bean Flat East

About this map

The Old Pony Express Trail cuts across the northwest corner of this Nevada landscape, providing a tangible link to the historic mail route that once spanned the West. Situated in the high desert of Eureka County, the terrain is defined by the broad expanses of Kobeh Valley, Grubb Flat, and Bean Flat. This environment is characterized by its vital water sources, including a concentration of named springs in the southeast such as Warm Spring, Cold Spring, and Twin Springs. Settlement activity is sparse, marked primarily by a Corral and Shamrock Spring, while a Wooden Pole Trans Line tracks across the central portion of the map. The drainage patterns of Willow Creek Wash illustrate the intermittent water flow common to this arid region during the mid-1980s.
