1981 Map of Dead Horse Canyon NE

About this map

Rabbit Hole and the high desert terrain of Pershing County dominate this 1981 survey, reflecting a landscape defined by seasonal water and mining exploration. The western portion of the map is shaped by the broad drainage of Granite Spring Wash, which serves as the primary topographical feature in an area largely devoid of permanent settlements. Resource extraction is suggested by the presence of a Prospect in the northeast corner and the critical infrastructure of the Granite Spring Wash Well, highlighting the importance of water access for those traversing or working this arid environment. The map provides a detailed view of the section lines and township boundaries, including the transition between T 33 N and T 32 N, while several benchmarks like BM 1547.8 anchor the elevation data for the area's unpaved 4WD tracks.
