About this map

Pogues Station and nearby ruins sit at the desert edge where the Little Smoky Valley meets the rising slopes of the Pancake Range. This mid-1960s survey captures a landscape defined by isolated water sources and high-altitude summits, such as Duckwater Peak and Moody Peak. The distribution of springs, including Soda Spring, Nevada Governors Spring, and Mahogany Spring, illustrates the critical importance of water for survival and travel in this arid Great Basin environment.

Industrial and transit history is recorded through a network of jeep trails that connect a scattering of resource sites, including a gravel pit and various prospects. The map also delineates the convergence of county boundaries for Eureka, Nye, and White Pine, marking a remote tri-county intersection. The terrain transitions from the valley floor up through Red Rock Summit, providing a detailed look at the topographic character of the region before modern development.
