1989 Map of McCullough Pass

About this map

McCullough Range dominates this portion of Clark County, Nevada, providing a sharp topographical contrast between the high peaks and the lower-lying basins to the west. This 1989 provisional survey reveals a landscape defined by scarce water sources and resource extraction, with named locations like McClanahan Spring, McCullough Spring, and general Springs marking critical points in the arid terrain. The map identifies McCullough Pass as a key natural corridor through the mountains, while signs of industrial and exploratory activity are evident in the numerous Sandpits, a Borrow Pit, and a location marked for Borax. A single Corral and scattered Prospect markings suggest the sparse human footprint of ranching and mining that persisted in this high desert region into the late twentieth century.
