1971 Map of McIntyre Summit

About this map

Stone Cabin Valley dominates this high-desert landscape in central Nevada, situated at the boundary of Township 7 North and Township 6 North. The area is defined by the high pass at McIntyre Summit, where the terrain transitions between the expansive valley floor and the more intricate drainages of White Rocks Canyon. Water sources are critical but sparse markers in this environment, represented by the winding courses of Willow Creek to the west and Hot Creek to the northeast. This 1971 field-checked survey reveals a landscape primarily accessed by a network of unimproved routes, including a prominent Jeep Trail that cuts across the valley floor. The map records a series of benchmarks and elevation points, reflecting the meticulous work of the Geological Survey in documenting this portion of Nye County before the widespread expansion of modern infrastructure.
