1981 Map of Greene Reservoir

About this map

Greene Reservoir and the extensive water management infrastructure of the Aguirre Valley dominate this arid landscape during the late 1970s and early 1980s. The map illustrates a complex network of desert irrigation, featuring the Greene Canal, Greene Wash, and the designated Greene Reservoir Dam (Site). While the valley floor is organized by industrial farming routes like Sunland Gin Road and Overfield Road, the periphery is defined by the sharp elevations of the Sawtooth Mountains and the West Silver Bell Mountains. Notable landmarks such as Indian Head, Wildcat Peak, and Gold Peak provide vertical contrast to the flat basin. Scattered features including a Landing Strip, the settlement of Laguna, and various borrow pits and prospects reflect the region's mid-century utility and extraction history.
