1965 Map of Cherry Creek NE

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Buffalo Mountain dominates the northwestern corner of this mid-1960s survey, its slopes descending into the broad expanse of Buffalo Valley. This high-desert landscape in northern Nevada is characterized by a network of intermittent drainage and light industrial activity typical of the Great Basin's mining history. Evidence of mineral exploration and resource extraction is visible through several prospects and multiple gravel pits scattered across the basin floor. The map records the point where Humboldt, Pershing, and Lander counties meet, marking a remote tri-county boundary. Water is a critical and sparse resource here, represented by a single Well and the seasonal flows of Trenton Creek and Mill Cr in the southeast. A rugged Jeep Trail provides the primary means of traversal through the valley, connecting the scattered industrial sites across the arid terrain.
