1957 Map of Frenchie Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Frenchie Ranch and several other family-named outposts anchor this mid-century survey of the high desert between the Cortez Mountains and Crescent Valley. The landscape is defined by its water sources, with isolated springs such as One Tank Spring and Hand-me-down Spring dictating the placement of early settlements and livestock operations. In the eastern portion of the quadrangle, the Modarelli Mines mark a site of industrial activity in the rugged foothills, while a network of jeep trails and older trails connects remote locations like Sod House and the Duff Ranch. The map captures the transition from traditional ranching to mid-century mineral exploration, particularly around Hot Spring and its nearby prospects. Geographers and local historians can trace the specific water-rights geography through numerous named features like Four Tanks Spring and Duff Spring.
