1965 Map of Cherry Creek SE

About this map

Buffalo Valley dominates this High Desert landscape, where the convergence of three Nevada counties — Pershing, Humboldt, and Lander — is meticulously recorded. The terrain is defined by the ephemeral flow of Cherry Creek and Timber Creek, which descend toward the valley floor from the surrounding highlands. A single prospect located in the southeastern quadrant serves as a solitary marker of mineral exploration in this desolate reach, reflecting the transient nature of mining efforts in the region during the mid-20th century. The 1981 revisions, based on 1980 aerial photography, provide updated data on the primitive road network and light-duty tracks that navigate the expansive valley, offering a precise view of the area's geography before later development or environmental shifts.
