1991 Map of Calavera Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

The Kings River Valley serves as a stark divide between the wide basin and the soaring Montana Mountains in this high-desert Nevada landscape. Ranching and mining define the human presence here, anchored by the Rio King Ranch and the isolated Kings River Sch on the western valley floor. Numerous Prospects dot the mountain slopes, concentrated around Calavera Canyon and the Moonlight Mine, indicating a history of mineral exploration in the rugged peaks. Water management is critical in this arid environment, evidenced by the presence of Garden Ditch, Gold Hill Spring, and various stock ponds scattered near Horse Creek Spring. The geography is defined by seasonal drainages like Fivemile Creek and Ikes Creek that feed into the Kings River, which winds along the base of the mountains.
