1961 Map of Fencemaker

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Fencemaker Range and the Stillwater Range dominate this topographic study of the Nevada high desert, illustrating a landscape defined by isolated peaks and seasonal water sources. The map details the transition from the arid expanse of the Alkali Flat in Buena Vista Valley to the higher elevations of Logan Peak and Table Mountain. Significant for local history and resource extraction, the area includes the Gilberts Mine and various prospects, alongside infrastructure such as a Radio Facility and the Pleasant Valley Beacon. Settlement is sparse, represented by Fencemaker Camp and the Buena Vista Windmill. The network of travel is recorded through Kitten Springs Road and numerous unnamed jeep trails that navigate difficult terrain through McKinney Pass and Fencemaker Pass, connecting the valley floor to remote spring sites like Polkinghorne Spring and Kitten Springs.
