1968 Map of Last Chance Range

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Last Chance Range dominates this corner of Nye County, standing as a prominent geological barrier between the desert flats. To the east, the Pahrump Valley slopes gently away from the mountain base, marked by a scattering of isolated water sources such as Wells. This landscape reflects a period of quiet transition in the late 1960s, where the only signs of human activity in the high ground are a solitary Prospect and a rugged Jeep Trail crossing the eastern basin. The density of topographic contour lines illustrates the sharp verticality of the range, while the valley floor below shows a grid of section lines and localized wells that suggest the early stages of groundwater management and land surveying in this arid stretch of the Mojave.
