1980 Map of Granny Goose Well

About this map

Stewart Valley defines the arid landscape of this 1980 survey, where the border of Nye and Mineral counties cuts diagonally across high desert terrain. The area is characterized by a network of drainage systems including Antone Wash and Finger Rock Wash, which channel water toward the valley floor during infrequent rains. Human activity in this remote region is marked by isolated landmarks like Granny Goose Well and Indian Well, alongside signs of early habitation at the Antone Station (Site). Mineral exploration is evident throughout the hills, with several prospects, a mine, and multiple borrow pits scattered near the jeep trails that provide the only access to the interior. The presence of Rawhide Ranch indicates the persistent, though sparse, agricultural and residential footprint in this section of the Great Basin.
