1969 Map of Moorman Spring SE

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The White River Valley floor dominates this 1960s landscape, illustrating the hydrology and exploration history of southeastern Nevada. The seasonal drainage of the White River carves a path through the basin, supported by water sources like Emigrant Springs and other unnamed Springs that once served travelers on the frontier. The map captures a moment when the high desert was primarily accessed via a single Jeep Trail, highlighting the isolation and sparse infrastructure of the region. Boundary lines for Nye Co and Lincoln Co intersect in the northeastern corner, where the topography rises sharply toward the mountains. Evidence of early land investigation is scattered across the flats, marked by several Drill Hole locations and a Gravel Pit, pointing to the geological and mineral interests that often drove Western surveying efforts.
