1981 Map of Bluewing Flat North

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Bluewing Mountains dominate the northern terrain of this Pershing County landscape, where the high desert peaks transition into the broad, arid expanse of the Granite Springs Valley. The map records a classic Great Basin environment of alluvial fans and dry alkali basins, specifically the southern reaches of Bluewing Flat. This 1981 edition, compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey from mid-1970s aerial photography, captures the region's character as a site of mineral interest and sparse settlement. Human activity is evidenced by a scattered prospect, reflecting the persistent search for resources within the desert floor and surrounding foothills. The network of jeep trails and unimproved roads shown here indicates the area's continued use for exploration and land management during the late twentieth century.
