1966 Map of Catnip Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Charles Sheldon Antelope Range defines this high-desert landscape during the mid-1960s, straddling the remote high plateau where Nevada and Oregon meet. The survey details a critical wildlife conservation area within the Sheldon National Antelope Refuge, dominated by the drainage system of Catnip Creek and its branches, North Catnip Creek and South Catnip Creek. Water is the primary driver of life and activity here, evidenced by the central Catnip Reservoir and numerous vital water sources like Little Catnip Spring and East Spring. The topography transitions from the dramatic Rock Springs Table down into Catnip Canyon, while the western edge reaches toward the Guano Valley. Ranching and wildlife management infrastructure is noted through various fence lines and unimproved dirt roads that navigate the heights of Catnip Mtn and the shoreline of Round Mountain Lake.
