1981 Map of Cave Creek

About this map

The Schell Creek Range and the Duck Creek Range dominate this high-desert terrain in White Pine County, forming a rugged backdrop for the Cave Lake State Recreation Area. Centered on the Cave Creek Reservoir, the map illustrates a landscape shaped by water and mineral extraction. The Kolcheck Mine and several noted prospects like Prospect signal the area's mining history, while the proliferation of named water sources such as Timberlaine Spring, Clear Spring, and Summit Spring highlights the critical importance of spring water for livestock and mountain navigation.
