1966 Map of Catnip Mtn. SE

About this map

The Charles Sheldon Antelope Range dominates this mid-1960s landscape, illustrating a specialized conservation environment spanning the Washoe and Humboldt County border. This high-desert terrain is characterized by its vital water sources, including Fish Springs, Gooch Spring, and North Hell Creek Spring, which supported wildlife and early range management efforts. The topography is defined by prominent elevations such as Catnip Mountain and the flat-topped Gooch Table, while drainage systems like Echo Canyon and Horse Canyon Spring carve through the volcanic plateau. A network of Jeep Trails and the Patrol Trail crisscross the area, marking the movement of rangers and hunters through the Great Basin high country before modern paved access reached these remote stretches of northwestern Nevada.
