1982 Map of Jackson Well

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Jackson Well serves as a vital water point in this arid stretch of the Nevada desert, where the reliance on isolated springs and wells dictates the human footprint. The landscape is defined by the sharp contrast between the level expanse of the Alkali Flat and the rising elevations of the Slumbering Hills to the east. These hills contain the Jumbo Mine, representing the region's enduring connection to mineral exploration and resource extraction. Compiled from 1970s aerial photography and field checks, the map captures a period of high-desert land management where named landmarks like Austin Well and Franklin Well were essential coordinates for surveyors and ranchers alike. The gridded section lines of Township 40 North and Range 35 East overlay a terrain where water sources are the primary indicators of historical activity.
