1951 Map of Garrison

About this map

Garrison serves as the primary hub in this high-desert basin during the mid-century, situated precisely where Snake Creek flows toward the Nevada Utah state line. The landscape is defined by the dramatic descent from the Nevada National Forest in the west, where Lehman Caves National Monument is located, down into the arid Snake Valley. Water is the lifeblood of this territory, visible in the cluster of springs like Mahogany Spr and Needle Point Spr, and the network of ranches such as Davies Ranch and Young Ranch that depend on them.
