1960 Map of Dianas Punch Bowl

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Monitor Valley serves as the central corridor of this 1960 survey, a high-desert landscape defined by isolated ranching outposts and geothermal activity. The most striking geological feature is Dianas Punch Bowl, a deep natural cauldron in the valley floor. The map records the human footprint on this remote terrain through several named properties, including the Potts Ranch, Monitor Ranch, and The Homestead, which are connected by a network of unimproved roads and a jeep trail. Water sources are vital landmarks here, ranging from the flowing Stoneberger Creek to named seeps and springs like Johnny Potts Spring and White Sage Spring. This era captures the valley's mid-century character, where an airstrip near The Monitor suggests the logistical challenges of managing these expansive basin-and-range cattle operations.
