1989 Map of Chicken Springs

About this map

The Emigrant Trail cuts through this high desert terrain in northeastern Nevada, marking a path of westward expansion that aligns with the natural geography of Thousand Valley. Water sources were critical in this arid landscape, evidenced by the clustered locations of Chicken Springs, Mud Springs, and the flow of Rock Spring Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the surrounding mountain architecture, dominated by the Delano Mountains to the east and the prominent peak of Tony Mountain in the south. Between these heights, the Ninemile Ridge and Thousand Springs area define a complex network of drainages and canyons, including Bell Canyon and Burnt Creek Canyon, which have historically dictated travel and land use in this corner of Elko County.
