1949 Map of Garrison

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Snake Valley serves as the focal point for this late 1940s survey, where the arid high desert of eastern Nevada meets the Utah border. The settlement of Garrison stands at the junction of Snake Creek and Lake Creek, acting as a rare waypoint in a landscape dominated by the rising peaks of the Snake Range. High-altitude drainage systems like Horse Heaven Creek and Lexington Creek cut through the Humboldt National Forest, while the northern portion of the map identifies the early footprint of Lehman Caves National Monument. The reliance on water in this desert environment is evident through the naming of numerous springs, such as Kious Spr and Mahogany Spr, and the presence of established family holdings like Davies Ranch and Young Ranch. The inclusion of a Landing Field and the Ferguson Trail illustrates the diverse methods of transit used to navigate this remote borderland.
