1949 Map of Garrison

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Garrison stands as the primary settlement on this Nevada-Utah borderland survey, situated where the high slopes of the Snake Range descend into the expansive Snake Valley. The landscape is defined by dramatic transitions from the high peaks of the Nevada National Forest to the arid valley floor, punctuated by geological landmarks like Lehman Caves National Monument and the distant Lexington Arch. The mapping records a sparse network of agricultural life, specifically noted through family holdings such as Davies Ranch, Young Ranch, and Dearden Ranch. These outposts relied on the precarious water flow from canyons like Snake Creek and Lexington Creek. A Landing Field near the state line and the waters of Pruess Lake mark the limited infrastructure of this era, while the Burbank Cem and Garrison Cemetery provide vital points of reference for local family history.
