1990 Map of Blue Eagle Mountain

About this map

The Grant Range dominates this Great Basin landscape, a high-elevation terrain punctuated by peaks and steep drainages in Nye County. At the heart of the sheet lies Blue Eagle Mountain, rising above a network of named canyons including Johnson Canyon, Box Canyon, and Beaty Canyon. The distribution of water sources is the defining characteristic of this arid environment, with numerous vital points such as Andrew Spring, Log Spring, and Cazier Spring appearing at the base of slopes and within canyon floors. A single Water Tank and a network of 4wd tracks indicate the limited human infrastructure in this remote area, which is focused on high summits like Tank Summit and Bald Mountain. This 1990 provisional edition provides a detailed look at the hydrology and relief before modern digital updates changed the USGS mapping standard.
