1960 Map of Burbank Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Burbank Hills rise sharply between the Snake Valley to the west and the Ferguson Desert to the east, creating a corridor of high passes and seasonal drainages. During the early 1960s, this arid landscape was defined by its water sources and livestock trails, evidenced by landmarks like Clay Spring, Davies Well, and Hockman Well. The map captures a transition in desert travel, showing the established Garrison Black Rock Road alongside more primitive routes such as the Ferguson Trail and the Cowboy Jeep Trail. In the southern reaches, the Desert Experimental Range occupies a significant portion of the terrain near Tunnel Spring. For those tracking the hydraulic history of the Great Basin, the numerous seasonal catchments like South Cedar Wash Reservoir and Deadman Reservoir provide specific points of reference for mid-century land management and grazing practices.
