1969 Map of Gilbert Creek NE

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Antelope Valley dominates this 1969 topographic study, revealing a sparsely populated Nevada landscape defined by its high desert basins and isolated peaks. Located in Lander County, the map documents the region's limited industrial and water infrastructure, essential for survival in the Great Basin. Evidence of resource exploration is visible at a Prospect and a Gravel Pit, while the placement of several Well sites suggests the importance of underground water sources for ranching or mining operations. Prominent landmarks such as Red Butte and Antelope Butte break the wide expanse of the valley floor. The map also meticulously records ranching infrastructure, using fine dashed lines to indicate selected fence lines that divide the open range, providing a precise record of land use before more modern developments altered the high-desert character of the area.
