1958 Map of Huntoon Valley

About this map

The Excelsior Mountains and Anchorite Hills dominate this high-desert landscape along the border of Nevada and California. Published in the early 1960s from late 1950s field data, the survey highlights a region defined by remote outposts and ancient markings, most notably the Petroglyphs found near Huntoon Spring. The map documents the sparse human footprint in this arid terrain, marking small settlements like Eaton and Cow Camp, alongside several water sources essential for survival and industry, such as Government Well and Whisky Flat.
