1969 Map of Gilbert Creek NW

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Augusta Mountains dominate the western portion of this high-desert landscape, creating a stark topographic contrast with the broad drainage of the Antelope Valley to the east. As documented during the late 1960s, the area is defined by its arid hydrology and sparse human infrastructure. Water management is a primary focus of the map, evidenced by the numerous instances of wells scattered across the valley floor to support livestock or seasonal operations. The natural drainage of Antelope Creek and Gilbert Creek feeds into the valley, while a network of Jeep Trails provides the only access through the foothills. Small-scale excavation sites, labeled as Borrow Pits, indicate localized material extraction, likely for the maintenance of these primitive routes. The boundary between Lander Co and Churchill Co bisects the mountain range, highlighting the jurisdictional divide in this remote part of the Great Basin.
