1961 Map of Cain Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Augusta Mountains and the Tobiyabe Range dominate this high-desert basin-and-range landscape, where water dictates the location of early ranching outposts. This early 1960s survey records the isolated geography of Jersey Valley, Dixie Valley, and Pleasant Valley, linked by a network of unimproved roads and a Jeep Trail. Thermal activity is a defining characteristic of the area, evidenced by Sou Hot Springs in the Sou Hills and several other unnamed springs that supported remote operations like Seven Devils Ranch and Little McCoy Ranch. Far from any major highway, the map reveals a quiet era of Great Basin life where airway beacons and cattle stations were the primary landmarks. The presence of Home Station Ranch near Home Station Wash and the McCoy Well further underscores the sparse but strategic human presence in these desolate valleys.
