1963 Map of Lida Wash

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Clayton Valley dominates the northern landscape of this Esmeralda County region, characterized by its expansive salt flats and prominent Sand Dunes. The southern portion of the map transitions into higher elevations where the Silver Peak Range and the Palmetto Mts converge. This arid environment is punctuated by vital water sources such as Horath Corral Spring, Birch Creek Spring, and Pocahontas Spring, which supported the early pastoral and mining activities in the area. Evidence of resource extraction is visible through the McNamara Mine and other unnamed mine sites located near the southern mountains. The drainage of Lida Wash cuts through the rugged topography, while the Coyote Road and various jeep trails provide the primary transit through the basin. Remote outposts like Cow Camp reflect the sparse, seasonal human presence required for managing livestock in this desert terrain.
