1960 Map of Conger Mountain

About this map

Conger Mountain dominates the northwestern landscape of this Great Basin survey, where the massive north-south spine of the Confusion Range separates two distinct basins. To the east lies the broad expanse of the Tule Valley, while the west is defined by the Little Valley and the arid flats of the Ferguson Desert. The map reveals a land structured by water scarcity and grazing geography, centered on vital points like Conger Spring and Conger Reservoir. The intricate network of drainage is visible through features like Little Mile and a Half Canyon and Payson Canyon, which cut through the limestone ridges. Evidence of mid-century range management and travel is found in the scattered Jeep Trails and specific grazing landmarks such as Sheepmens Little Valley and Horse Heaven.
