1973 Map of Docs Pass

About this map

Beaver Dam State Park straddles the high desert and mountain transition along the state line in the early 1970s. This survey records a remote landscape defined by the drainage of Beaver Dam Wash and the steep elevations of the Pine Valley Mountains. Human presence is sparse, marked primarily by the seasonal or vocational Holts Cabin and small-scale resource extraction indicated by a Prospect site. The map documents a rugged network of primitive routes, including several miles of Jeep Trail and footpaths leading to vital water sources like Docs Spring and Ash Spring. Topographical features such as The Narrows and Docs Pass highlight the restrictive natural corridors used to navigate this corner of the Great Basin. Large-scale ecological management is also evident through the Middle Ridge Exclosure, providing insight into mid-century land use and conservation efforts in the region.
