1980 Map of Dry Mountain

About this map

Dry Mountain dominates this portion of Pershing County, Nevada, as it appeared in the mid-1970s. The landscape is characterized by its high-altitude water sources and primitive transportation routes, reflecting a corner of the Great Basin defined by its seasonal hydrology and isolation. Remote water points such as Garrett Spring and Wet Weather Spring provide critical landmarks for those navigating the high terrain, where several Jeep Trails wind through the hills. This 1980 edition, based on 1974 photogrammetric data, captures the section lines and boundaries including the divide between T 33 N and T 32 N, offering a precise record of the land division and natural features in a region where few permanent settlements exist.
