1967 Map of Moores Station SE

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Heart Hills and the expansive basin of Big Sand Springs Valley define this mid-century desert landscape in Nye County. Surveyed in 1967 by the Geological Survey and the Atomic Energy Commission, the map records a remote terrain where geologic and archaeological markers coexist with modern exploration. Cultural history is anchored by the presence of Pictographs in the northwestern hills, while the contemporary industrial footprint of the era is evidenced by several scattered Drill Holes. The drainage of Sand Springs Wash cuts through the valley floor, paralleled by a network of unimproved roads and a Jeep Tr, indicating the sparse but deliberate transit through this arid interior. This survey is a record of scientific and atomic-era interest in the Nevada desert before significant modern alterations.
