1954 Map of Chris Flat

About this map

West Walker River carves a central corridor through this mountain landscape, which was part of the Toiyabe National Forest during this mid-century survey. The narrow valley floor preserves names that hint at early frontier utility and industry, such as Tollhouse Flat, Shingle Mill Flat, and China Garden. Higher elevations are defined by steep canyons including Mill Creek Canyon and Bootleg Canyon, while more level areas are found at Grouse Meadows and Burcham Flat.
