1968 Map of Brown Summit NW

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Big Sand Springs Valley and the Little Smoky Valley dominate this Great Basin landscape, separated by the high elevations of the Pancake Range. The 1968 survey reveals a terrain defined by drainage patterns and alluvial fans, where the only signs of human movement are faint Jeep Trails cutting across the desert floor. In the eastern sector, Moody Mountain rises sharply, providing a dramatic backdrop to the Brown Summit Reservoir, which serves as a rare water feature in this arid Nye County environment. This map captures a moment in the late 1960s when the region remained largely untouched by major development, preserving the isolation and natural topography of central Nevada.
