1972 Map of Indian Cove

About this map

1001 Ranch sits as the primary human landmark in this section of Lincoln County, situated in the arid drainage of the Meadow Valley Wash. This early 1970s survey captures a landscape defined by its vital water sources and transportation corridors. The Union Pacific railroad line runs parallel to the wash, following the low ground through the valley as it navigates the terrain between Miller Bench and the western foothills. The map documents a sparsely populated but active ranching and rail landscape, where specialized features like the Oxborrow Ranch Landing Field and various named springs such as Indian Cove and Miller Spring suggest the essential infrastructure required for life and travel in the high desert of eastern Nevada.
