About this map

Iverson Ranch sits at the base of a high desert landscape where the Calico Hills meet the expansive floor of Hualapai Flat. This 1980 map records a remote corner of Nevada defined by scattered water sources and the necessities of ranching and light aviation, featuring both a Landing Field and a Landing Strip to navigate the distance between settlements. Waterways like Negro Creek and Leadville Canyon are critical markers in this arid environment, alongside several named springs.

The map reveals a landscape still actively utilized for ranching and resource extraction, indicated by numerous wells, a Corral, and several prospects. The convergence of Washoe, Humboldt, and Pershing counties occurs here, marking a point where multiple administrative boundaries meet in the open desert. Significant landmarks such as Red Mountain Creek and Cottonwood Creek flow toward the flat, tracing the natural drainage patterns of the Great Basin.
