1988 Map of Butler Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

The East Walker River defines the western corridor of this Lyon County landscape, where the water is diverted through irrigation infrastructure like the Upper Charlebois Ditch. This 1980s survey captures a transition from the riparian river valley to the elevated desert terrain of Butler Mountain in the east. The map records the traces of historical resource extraction, with numerous Prospect and Prospects sites scattered throughout the hills, alongside more developed features such as an Adit and Mine Shafts. Local history is noted in small but significant markers, including a solitary Grave located near a bend in the river and a Ford crossing the main channel. The presence of a high-voltage Transmission Line and several 4wd tracks underscores the utility and accessibility of this high-desert region during the late twentieth century.
