1982 Map of Juniper Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Miners Cow Creek Ranch and the rugged expanse of the Seven Troughs define this remote high-desert landscape in Pershing County. Recorded in the early 1980s, the map reveals a terrain shaped by mineral extraction and water management, where numerous prospects and a primary mine are scattered across American Flat and Wildcat Canyon. The dependence on intermittent water sources is evident in the naming of specific springs, such as Nera Spring No 56, Nera Spring No 33, and Burnt Canyon Spring, which served as critical points for both ranching and prospecting operations. A network of four-wheel-drive trails connects these sites through steep drainages like Juniper Canyon and Stonehouse Canyon, illustrating the isolation and specialized land use of this Nevada interior. The presence of water tanks and various bench marks, including Seven Troughs, provides a precise record of the human infrastructure developed to support industry in this arid environment.
