1982 Map of Chin Creek Spring

About this map

The Antelope Range and the Boone Spring Hills dominate this high-desert landscape in northeastern Nevada, where the border between Elko Co and White Pine Co cuts through the terrain. The survival of this isolated region centers on its water sources, with numerous springs dotting the mountain slopes. Features like Stockade Spring, Chin Creek Spring, and Perkins Spring provide vital points in the drainage system that feeds into Chin Creek and North Creek. Scattered mining activity is evident through several unnamed prospects and localized prospect markings, suggesting exploration for mineral wealth along the ridges. A network of Jeep Trails provides the primary means of traversing the valleys, connecting remote points like Lookout Springs and Flat Spring.
