1986 Map of Frazier Creek

About this map

Garden Valley forms a broad corridor through this high-desert landscape in central Nevada, situated between the Roberts Mountains to the west and the Sulphur Spring Range to the east. The terrain is marked by the presence of a defunct transportation corridor, the Old Railroad Grade, which parallels the base of the mountains alongside Henderson Creek. Water sources are sparse but critical in this environment, with locations like Rabbit Spring and McCloud Spring appearing near the mountain slopes. Economic activity in the mid-1980s was primarily focused on extraction and exploration, as evidenced by several Prospects, a Gravel Pit, and a specific Mineshaft located near the southern boundary. The map captures a moment when the regional hydrology of Frazier Creek and its surrounding peaks remained relatively undeveloped, preserving the original traces of early mining and rail infrastructure.
