1969 Map of Gilbert Creek SW

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Augusta Mountains and the New Pass Range converge in this high-desert landscape, where the Churchill Co Lander Co line divides the terrain. During the late 1960s, the area remained a site of active resource extraction, centered around the McCoy Mining Camp and the nearby McCoy Mine and Wildhorse Mine. The map reveals a network of Jeep Trails that provided access through the steep contours to various Wells and isolated excavations. To the east, the topography transitions into the relatively level floor of the Antelope Valley, drained by the intermittent flows of Antelope Creek and Gilbert Creek. This survey captures the utilitarian nature of the Nevada desert, where land use was defined by mining, water management at sites like North Well, and the logistics of traversing high-altitude ranges.
