1956 Map of Cockalorum Wash

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Pancake Range dominates this mid-century Nevada interior, where water sources dictated the patterns of remote ranching and travel. Isolated outposts like Indian Spring Ranch, Willow Creek Ranch, and Snowball Ranch are tied to the dependable drainage of the Cockalorum Wash and Little Smoky Valley. The landscape is a complex network of springs and pipelines, including the Davis Pipeline and Kinkead Spring, which supported livestock and small-scale operations in this arid environment. Geologically, the area is defined by sharp elevation changes and the prominent Big Fault running along the eastern valley floor. The map captures a moment when jeep trails and unimproved roads were the primary lifelines connecting family-named landmarks like Bills Peak and Bisoni Ridge to the broader basins of Eureka and Nye counties.
