1959 Map of Connors Pass

About this map

The Schell Creek Range dominates this mid-century Nevada landscape, carving a high-altitude divide between Steptoe Valley to the west and Spring Valley to the east. Historically significant as a mining and ranching corridor, the map shows the remnants of earlier activity at Taylor (Site), where a lone Cemetery remains near the mouth of Taylor Canyon. The terrain is defined by a dense network of mountain springs, such as Crethers Springs and South Taylor Spr, which historically sustained livestock and local operations in this arid environment.
