1981 Map of Georgetta Ranch

About this map

The Goshute Indian Reservation dominates this borderland landscape, where the high desert terrain of White Pine County meet the Utah state line. This 1981 survey documents the remote ranching and transit patterns of the Great Basin, anchored by the Georgetta Ranch and the nearby site of Eightmile. The geography is defined by narrow valley corridors and seasonal water sources like West Deep Creek and Fifteenmile Creek, which flow toward the broad Spring Creek Flat. Evidence of local travel and land use appears in the winding route of Whiskey Road and the industrial footprint of a Borrow Pit. Topographical landmarks such as The Narrows and Round Valley illustrate the dramatic relief of the region as it was recorded just before the 1980s.
