1971 Map of Miners Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Pilot Range dominates the western horizon of this 1970s landscape, where the high desert terrain of the Nevada-Utah border transitions into the vast Alkali or Mud flats. This survey documents a complex system of water management and natural springs crucial to the arid region, featuring an Aqueduct that skirts the foothills and several isolated water sources such as Miners Spring and Little Salt Spring. The presence of numerous Caves and the distinctive Window Rock suggests a geologically diverse environment that has long served as a landmark for those traversing the Pilot Creek Valley. East of the mountains, the terrain shifts dramatically into expansive Sand Dunes and the seasonal wetlands of Halls Meadow, illustrating the stark contrasts of the Great Basin's hydrography. The map also delineates the precise meeting of Elko, Tooele, and Box Elder counties at the state line.
