1972 Map of Ferguson Mtn.

About this map

The high desert landscape of eastern Elko County is defined here by the convergence of the Goshute Mountains and Ferguson Mtn. This early 1970s survey captures a sparse network of ranching and utility infrastructure centered around vital water sources. The Ferguson Sprs Maint Sta serves as a lone human outpost along the main road, supported by the nearby Ferguson Springs and a designated Picnic Area. The presence of Felt Corral and Dead Cedar Corral suggests the continued use of this arid range for livestock, while numerous Prospects, Borrow Pits, and the Dead Cedar Mine indicate the area's mineral exploration history. A web of Jeep Trails and unnamed Trails crisscrosses the terrain, following natural features like Dead Cedar Wash and providing access to remote locations like Little Mud Spring and Felt Spring.
