1967 Map of Chalk Hills

About this map

Virginia Range terrain dominates this Nevada landscape, where high-desert peaks like Washington Hill and Clark Mountain overlook a network of seasonal water sources and historical land use. The map records several high-elevation springs that sustained travelers and livestock across Lousetown Valley and along the course of Lousetown Creek. Evidence of early human presence and resource extraction is scattered throughout the region, from the ancient Petroglyphs marked in the central hills to more contemporary Prospects and a Gravel Pit in the northern reaches. This 1967 survey, with updates through the early 1980s, captures the rugged connectivity of the Flowery Range area, defined by a labyrinth of Jeep Trails and unnamed paths that navigate the Chalk Hills and the winding Long Valley Creek.
