1965 Map of Midas SW

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Evans Creek flows through this high-elevation landscape in northern Nevada, where the desert terrain is defined by its scarce water sources and cattle-working infrastructure. Sparse but critical features like a Well, a lone Spring, and a cluster of Springs illustrate the essential survival needs of this mid-1960s rangeland. The presence of the Guard Corral suggests the area was utilized for livestock management, likely as a seasonal station for ranchers operating across the border between Elko County and Lander County. The terrain is characterized by a high basin floor that rises abruptly into steep, north-trending ridges, capturing a moment when this remote section of the Great Basin remained largely undeveloped except for the most fundamental improvements needed for open-range grazing.
