About this map

The Old Spanish Trail cuts across this high desert landscape, tracing a historic path through the arid expanse of Mormon Mesa. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the map illustrates the intersection of ancient transit routes and modern infrastructure, most notably where the interstate corridor meets the East Mesa Interchange. Small settlements and points of interest such as Dean, Bush, and Atoll are situated near the highway, reflecting the sparse but strategic human presence in this region of Clark County.

Industrial activity is evidenced by several Borrow Pits and a prospect located in the northern reaches, while natural drainage is defined by the winding course of Halfway Wash. The administrative boundary between Lincoln Co and Clark Co runs across the upper portion of the sheet, providing a clear reference for local historians and land researchers studying property lines and county developments during this period of Nevada's growth.
