1967 Map of Jackson Spring

About this map

Tecoma Valley defines the southern portion of this high-desert survey, where the border between Nevada and Utah meets the county line for Elko and Box Elder. The landscape is marked by the vital presence of water in an arid environment, featuring Jackson Spring, Kilgore Spring, and several other unnamed Springs. These water sources likely dictated the movement of early travelers and miners through the region. Industrial activity is concentrated at the Jackson Mines, tucked into the higher elevations. A network of Jeep Trails provides the primary means of navigating the terrain, connecting the mineral prospects and water sources to the broader valley. A solitary Well and a Borrow Pit further indicate the sparse but intentional human imprint on this borderland territory during the late 1960s.
