1969 Map of Gilbert Creek SE

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The high-desert terrain of Ravenswood and the broad expanses of Antelope Valley define this late-1960s survey of Lander County. This arid landscape is punctuated by vital water sources such as Caton Spring, Rocky Gap Spring, and the ephemeral Gilbert Creek. The presence of the Red Bird Mine, along with individual mining features like the Queen Shaft and Pine Shaft, highlights the region's legacy of subsurface exploration and mineral extraction. A network of Jeep Trails provides the primary means of navigation through the varying elevations, connecting remote points like the 5401 Well with the surrounding mountain ranges. This map captures a specific moment in the mid-century Great Basin, where the sparse placement of wells and mine shafts tells the story of a working landscape defined by its limited water and potential for ore.
