1986 Map of Cowboy Rest Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Toiyabe Range topography dominates the western portion of this 1980s survey, where steep slopes descend into the expansive flats of Grass Valley. The landscape is characterized by its high-altitude water sources, with numerous Springs and named drainages like Rosebush Creek and the North Fork Skull Creek carving through the mountain faces. Settlement is sparse and focused on ranching and resource extraction, centered around the Cowboy Rest locality. This area reflects the mid-century survival of traditional Great Basin land use, where isolated structures like a Corral and a lone Prospect indicate the intersection of cattle management and small-scale mineral exploration. The map provides a clear look at the transitional terrain where the mountain foothills meet the valley floor, showing the network of unimproved roads that connected these remote Nevada outposts.
