About this map

The high ridges of the Schell Creek Range and Duck Creek Range dominate this 1981 survey of eastern Nevada. The landscape is defined by the resource extraction and ranching history of White Pine County, centered on the activity at Success Mine and the nearby Brennen Mine. Between these steep peaks, the drainage of Duck Creek and Steptoe Creek supported seasonal operations and early habitation sites like Pescio Ranch and Camp Success.

Public land management is well-established here within the Humboldt National Forest, which includes the Berry Creek Forest Service Station and Berry Creek Campground. The map reveals a network of springs essential for mountain life, from Axehandle Spring to the family-named McGill Spring. Travelers and livestock likely moved through these canyons using the Ranger Trail and Pack Trail, crossing the prominent Success Summit at the southern end of the quadrangle.
