1967 Map of Black Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Black Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this high-desert landscape of Elko County, photographed in 1966 and updated through the early 1980s. The terrain is defined by a sparse but vital water network, including Burnt Creek and Greek Creek, which cut through the drainage basins of the high country. To the south, Antelope Springs and Trout Creek provided essential water points for cattle and wildlife. The map reveals the rudimentary infrastructure of the era, consisting almost entirely of a network of Jeep Trails that provided access to the backcountry. A solitary Gravel Pit near the center of the sheet indicates small-scale local resource extraction, likely for the maintenance of these remote routes during a period when this region remained largely untouched by major development.
