1952 Map of Kawich Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Silverbow and isolated outposts like Eden Creek Ranch anchor this 1952 study of the high desert landscape in Nye County. The survey illustrates a period when the United States military was significantly expanding its footprint across the Great Basin, as evidenced by the large portion of the quadrangle designated as the Las Vegas Bombing and Gunnery Range. Along the western slopes of the Kawich Range, a dedicated Mining Area near Breen Creek highlights the enduring search for mineral wealth in this arid terrain. The map also records essential water sources for cattle and transit, including Corral Spring, Summer Spring, and Cedar Spring, which were vital for survival between the high peaks of Kawich Peak and the open flats of Reveille Valley. This topography is bisected by the Mt Diablo Base Line, a fundamental surveying boundary for the Nevada territory.
