1951 Map of Garrison

About this map

The Nevada-Utah border divides this 1951 survey, where the high peaks of the Snake Range meet the arid expanse of Snake Valley. The small settlement of Garrison serves as a focal point near the state line, positioned between the rugged terrain of Lehman Caves National Monument to the west and Pruess Lake to the east. The map captures a landscape defined by water scarcity and ranching, with isolated outposts like Davies Ranch, Young Ranch, and Dearden Ranch scattered along the valley floor. Evidence of early aviation and infrastructure appears via the Landing Field and several windmills. Geologic and historical points of interest, including the Snake Creek Cave and the Burbank Cem, provide valuable landmarks for genealogists and local historians tracing the development of White Pine County during the mid-century.
