About this map

The White River Valley defines this high-desert landscape at the intersection of Nye, White Pine, and Lincoln counties. During the late 1960s, this area supported an active ranching and resource economy evidenced by numerous remote water sources and cattle infrastructure. The presence of the Sheep Pass Corral and the White Horse Pasture suggests a reliance on the seasonal movement of livestock across the valley floor and through the corridors of Sheep Pass Canyon and Ninemile Canyon.
