1982 Map of McBrides Sheep Well

About this map

Long Valley stretches across the western portion of this 1982 provisional map, defined by its stark contrast with the towering Butte Mountains that dominate the central and eastern sections. This landscape, as documented by the Geological Survey, shows a sparse but functional network of high-desert infrastructure. The terrain is marked by seasonal drainages labeled as Wash, with water sources like Dry Lake Well providing critical points in an otherwise arid environment. Small-scale industrial activity is evident through the presence of several Borrow Pits and a Gravel Pit along the western edge.
