1979 Map of Boulder Mtn.

About this map

Home Camp stands as a focal point in this high-desert landscape of northwestern Nevada, situated near the northern reach of the Hay Canyon Range. This 1970s survey captures a territory defined by its critical water sources, essential for ranching and survival in the Great Basin. A network of springs such as Horse Canyon Springs, Coyote Spring, and Cottonwood Spring are mapped alongside livestock-oriented features like Sheep Trough Tank and Jack Reservoir. The complex topography includes the prominent heights of Boulder Mountain and the broad expanse of Mare Pasture. In the southwest, Mahogany Lake and Indian Valley mark the transition toward more varied terrain. Remote access is indicated by various Jeep Trails, showing the era's reliance on rugged vehicle paths to connect isolated camps and watering holes across the Washoe County backcountry.
