1990 Map of Home Station Ranch

About this map

The Tobin Range dominates the western horizon of this Pershing County landscape, where the high peaks drop sharply into the broad expanse of Jersey Valley. This 1990 provisional survey documents a sparse but vital network of water sources and landmarks essential for high-desert navigation and ranching operations. The namesake Home Station Ranch sits near the junction of Home Station Wash and Cedar Canyon, illustrating the reliance on drainage basins for settlement locations. Evidence of past industry and infrastructure is found in the northern reaches, including scattered Prospects and an Airway Beacon (Abandoned) on a prominent ridge. The map also records early water improvements like Indian Springs and the Mc Coy Well, while the eastern edge is defined by the rising slopes of the Fish Creek Mountains.
