1965 Map of China Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

China Mountain stands as the central landmark of the high-desert terrain within the Tobin Range, a landscape defined by sharp elevation shifts and steep drainages. In the mid-1960s, this area of Pershing County remained largely undeveloped, characterized by isolated water sources and a network of primitive access routes. Hoffman Ranch appears as the primary point of settlement, located near the base of Hoffman Canyon on the edge of Buffalo Valley. The map reveals a land utilized for its scattered resources, showing a solitary Mine on the eastern slopes and numerous unnamed Spring sites that provided vital water in an arid environment. Deep canyons like Garden Canyon and Lee Canyon carve into the mountain massif, while seasonal watercourses such as China Creek and Cherry Creek highlight the drainage patterns into the surrounding basins of Pumpernickel Valley and Buffalo Valley.
