1971 Map of Double Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

High desert ranching and water rights define this 1971 survey of the northern Independence Mountains. The landscape is dominated by the volcanic mass of Double Mtn, with a network of Jeep Trail routes providing access to remote stock-watering points. The mapping identifies numerous named water sources critical to the high-country range, including Chicken Creek Springs, Wagon Box Spring, and the Double Mtn Well. The Brown House stands as a solitary named structure in the northeast, positioned along the headwaters of West Fork Beaver Creek. The density of named springs and canyons like Dorsey Canyon and Water Canyon suggests a landscape managed for cattle and seasonal grazing, where specific water locations served as vital landmarks for buckaroos and ranchers in the Elko County backcountry.
