1958 Map of Giroux Wash

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The Egan Range dominates the western half of this 1950s survey, overlooking a complex network of arid drainages that define the high desert topography of White Pine County. Central to the landscape is Giroux Wash, where seasonal water courses like White River Wash and Spring Wash converge in a wide valley. Human activity in this mid-century period is marked by infrastructure supporting regional communication and transport, including a Radio Relay Sta atop Rib Hill and a remote Landing Strip near Holt Creek. The map documents a period when industrial and agricultural access relied on the Headhouse Road and numerous Jeep Trails cutting through the sagebrush. These features, alongside isolated labels like Gravel Pit and several Dry Wells, illustrate the challenges of resource extraction and water management in this interior Nevada basin.
