1958 Map of Giroux Wash

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Egan Range dominates this mid-century landscape of White Pine County, where the high-elevation terrain is cut by a network of drainage channels. Water remains the defining force of the geography, from the primary Giroux Wash and White River Wash to smaller seasonal flows like Sage Hen Spring Wash and Lion Wash. Human activity in this arid environment is sparsely marked but significant, centered around infrastructure like the Landing Strip and a Radio Relay Sta located near Rib Hill. While much of the land remains undeveloped, the presence of a Gravel Pit and scattered wells suggests the extraction and resource management typical of the eastern Nevada interior. The topography, mapped during the tenure of Governor Grant Sawyer, reveals the intricate natural contours of Holt Creek and the southern extent of the range before modern expansion.
