1967 Map of Bonnie Claire SE

About this map

The high-desert terrain of the Grapevine Mountains and the arid expanse of Sarcobatus Flat define this 1967 survey of the Nevada-California borderlands. Tracing through the northeastern corner of the map, the Old Railroad Grade remains a prominent physical scar on the landscape, marking the path of former industrial transit across the basin. To the southwest, the boundary of Death Valley National Monument encompasses the mountain ridges, where the rare presence of water is marked by Willow Spring and a nearby Water Tank. The mapping emphasizes the isolation of this corner of Nye County, focusing on the topographic relationship between the steep mountain slopes and the sweeping, low-lying flats used for transportation in the early twentieth century.
