1969 Map of Gilbert Creek SE

About this map

Ravenswood and the eastern margins of Antelope Valley dominate this late-1960s landscape in central Nevada. The map documents a rugged mining and ranching geography where water sources are the primary points of interest. Notable extractive history is visible in the hills, particularly through the Queen Shaft, Pine Shaft, and the Red Bird Mine. These features, along with several wells such as East Well, indicate the persistence of industrial activity and the necessary infrastructure for survival in this arid environment. The transition from the valley floor up into the higher elevations of the Ravenswood area is marked by a network of unimproved routes, primarily labeled as Jeep Trail, connecting isolated springs like Rocky Gap Spring and Caton Spring to the broader drainage of Gilbert Creek.
