1981 Map of Dog Valley

About this map

Henness Pass Road traverses this high-country landscape along the border of California and Nevada, marking a route with deep roots in the region's trans-Sierran transportation history. The terrain is defined by the high elevations of the Bald Mountain Range and the Verdi Range, where peaks like Babbitt Peak and Crystal Peak overlook a series of alpine valleys including Jones Valley and Merril Valley. The 1980s landscape shows a transition toward recreational and forestry use, evidenced by the numerous campsites like Males Station Campground and Davies Creek Campground, as well as the Dog Valley Forest Service Station. In the southwest corner, the map captures the northern reach of the Stampede Reservoir, where Davies Creek and other small tributaries descend from the surrounding ridges to the basin floor.
