1974 Map of Grapevine Spring

About this map

Harris Springs Canyon and Lucky Strike Canyon define the high desert topography of this region within Clark County, Nevada. The 1974 field survey reveals a landscape shaped by both natural drainage and industrial exploration, evidenced by Open Pit Mines and several Prospects located in the southern reaches of the quadrangle. These sites suggest a period of active mineral interest near the head of Deer Pasture. Water sources in this arid environment are sparse but critical, marked by Grapevine Spring and Grassy Spring. Access throughout the canyons is limited to a network of a Jeep Trail, illustrating the remote and difficult nature of the terrain during the mid-1970s. The map captures the area before modern expansion, focusing on the drainage patterns of Grapevine Canyon and Goodwater Canyon.
