1961 Map of Cain Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Dixie Valley and Jersey Valley dominate this Great Basin landscape, where the high peaks of the Tobin Range and the Augusta Mountains flank desert basins. The mapping records a critical geological record in Scarp 1915, marking the visible surface rupture of a significant historical earthquake. Water is the primary driver of settlement here, with isolated outposts like Home Station Ranch and Seven Devils Ranch positioned near vital water sources. Geothermal activity is a defining feature of the area, evidenced by Hyder Hot Springs and Sou Hot Springs. A network of Jeep Trails provides the only access through the basins, connecting remote cattle operations to the outside world across the Pershing and Churchill County line.
