1973 Map of Black Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The Desert National Wildlife Range dominates this mid-1970s survey of Clark County, defined by the stark transition between the Black Hills and the high elevations of the Sheep Range. This arid environment is marked by essential water sources such as Upper Deadman Spring and Rye Patch Spring, which serve as vital landmarks in a landscape sculpted by deep drainage systems. Movement through the area relies on a sparse network of unimproved routes, including Alamo Road and Cow Camp Road, which provide access to strategic points like Black Hills Gap. Canyons such as Joe May Canyon and Picture Canyon reveal the complex topography of the eastern slopes, where features like the Joe May Guzzler indicate modern efforts to manage wildlife resources in this high-desert setting.
