1979 Map of Dogskin Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Nevada-California state line bisects this 1970s survey, where the arid high desert is defined by a dense network of water sources and seasonal drainage. Numerous named springs like Sand Spring and Seale Springs suggest a landscape where water was the primary driver for both movement and early settlement. Central to the map, Dogskin Mountain rises above the Winnemucca Valley, which is traversed by the Winnemucca Ranch Road. Small-scale activity is evident in the presence of several Prospects and a Grave located near the ranch, pointing to a history of solitary labor and isolated homesteading in the shadow of the Virginia Mountains. The distribution of Benner Well and various ranch structures across Lees Flat reflects the importance of water management for livestock in the Red Rock Valley and Dry Valley corridors.
