1972 Map of I X L Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

The Stillwater Range dominates the western half of this 1972 survey, casting a sharp profile over the Dixie Valley (Depression) to the east. Evidence of mining activity is scattered across the high terrain, notably at Silver Hill (Site) and the Creore Mine located near Willow Canyon. The landscape is etched with steep drainages like James Canyon and Rough Creek Canyon, which funnel toward the valley floor where a network of unpaved tracks, including Settlement Road and Cattle Road, suggests a history of ranching and remote habitation. The presence of Ruins and multiple Mines and Prospects speaks to a period of mineral exploration and hard-scrabble settlement in this part of Churchill County. Water remains a critical and scarce resource, marked by isolated points such as Mud Spring and West Job Canyon Springs tucked into the mountain folds.
