1973 Map of Horse Camp Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Schell Creek Range dominates this mid-1970s topographical record of eastern Nevada, where high-elevation terrain is defined by a critical network of water sources. The namesake Horse Camp Springs and South Horse Camp Spring are central to the landscape, supporting the seasonal movements of livestock through the drainage of Horse Camp Wash. The naming of Basque Canyon provides a subtle nod to the region's cultural history, reflecting the legacy of Basque sheepherders who once moved their flocks through these canyons. Evidence of local land use appears in the northwest at a Borrow Pit, while a system of jeep trails connects remote points like Stevens Spring and Rock Spring. The geography is steeply incised by several washes, including John Henry Wash and Cattle Camp Wash, illustrating the harsh but necessary hydrology that sustained ranching and transit in White Pine County.
