1957 Map of Buck Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Newark Valley and the prominent heights of Buck Mountain dominate this mid-century survey of White Pine County. The landscape is defined by its transition from the alkali flats of the valley floor to the high ridges of the Basin and Range, where numerous water sources like Moore Springs, Cottonwood Spring, and Woodchuck Spring were critical for survival in the arid terrain. Traces of regional history are visible in the form of the Elko-Hamilton Stage Route, which skirts the western foothills. The importance of reliable water in this livestock and travel corridor is underscored by the presence of Goicoechea Well and the naming of Buck Station along Deadman Creek, representing the isolated outposts and cattle-driving infrastructure essential to the Nevada interior during this era.
