1971 Map of Cave Valley Well

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Egan Range peaks dominate this high-altitude landscape along the border of Nye and Lincoln Counties in the early 1970s. The map captures a stark divide between two arid basins, with the mountain spine separating the White River Valley to the west from the Cave Valley to the east. Water sources are scarce in this environment, represented here by the namesake Cave Valley Well and the drainage of Trough Spring Canyon. A network of a Jeep Trail provides the primary means of navigation through the steep terrain, illustrating the remote and undeveloped nature of the Great Basin at the time of the survey. The absence of settlements or paved roads highlights the area's isolation and its primary use for grazing or transition between the valley floors.
