1968 Map of Independence Valley NE

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Pequop Mountains dominate the western half of this Nevada landscape, transitioning sharply into the broad expanse of the Goshute Valley (Depression) to the east. At the edge of the mountains, the Big Springs Ranch sits near the namesake Big Springs, highlighting the essential role of water in this high-desert environment. Evidence of human activity and exploration is scattered throughout the terrain, from a Well on the valley floor to several Prospects and a Prospect located within the higher elevations. Drainage patterns are defined by features such as Sixmile Creek and the ephemeral Hardy Creek. Remote access is indicated by various Jeep Trails that navigate the slopes of Long Canyon and the valley periphery, while the presence of a Borrow Pit suggests localized material extraction for road maintenance or ranching needs during the late 1960s.
