About this map

Badger Mountain dominates the landscape of this mid-1960s survey, marking a rugged high point in Douglas County. The terrain is deeply incised by drainage systems such as Bevington Canyon, Sutherland Canyon, and Francis Canyon, which feed into the central artery of Rock Island Creek. This area, primarily high plateau and steep breaks, shows a sparse network of infrastructure adapted to the elevation, including a Radio Facility near the prominent Moses Stool.

Vital water sources are scattered throughout the highlands, with named locations like Robinson Spring and Luehm Spring providing critical points for early ranchers and settlers. The industrial footprint of the era is represented by a Gravel Pit along the southern creek bed, while a series of unimproved paths like Ellis Road and Sachs Road reflect the localized connectivity between family-named landholdings and seasonal grazing areas.
