1991 Map of Jordan Meadow NW

About this map

McDermitt Creek flows through the high desert of the Great Basin along the border of Nevada and Oregon, defining the remote character of this landscape in the early 1990s. The terrain is dominated by the prominent Long Ridge and Jordan Meadow Mountain, providing a clear view of the complex drainages of Washburn Creek and its tributaries. While primarily an open grazing and natural area, several Prospect labels and Prospects denote a history of mineral exploration in the hills. The presence of numerous Stock Pond and Stock Ponds locations, along with natural Spring and Springs sites, reveals the essential water infrastructure required for livestock in this arid environment. The map captures the geography of the Jordan Meadow Flat before modern changes, preserving the intricate drainage patterns of Little Wildcat Cr and Jordan Meadow Creek as they existed during this field check era.
