1968 Map of Brown Summit SW

About this map

Big Sand Springs Valley dominates this 1968 Nevada landscape, defining the wide alluvial floor that stretches across Nye County. The terrain is characterized by the broad, intermittent drainage of Sand Springs Wash, which meanders through the valley floor. Mapped during the late 1960s using photogrammetric methods from 1967 aerial photography, the sheet reveals a high desert environment shaped by seasonal water flow and vast open spaces. The network of unimproved roads and survey markers across the valley floor suggests a period of active land surveying and potential resource exploration in this section of the Great Basin.
