1969 Map of Mount Airy Mesa

About this map

Mount Airy Mesa dominates the southwestern quadrant of this high-desert landscape in central Nevada. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes and seasonal drainage patterns, most notably Antelope Creek, which winds through the central valley. Human activity is sparse and primarily industrial or ranching-oriented, evidenced by the presence of a lone Corral in the south and the Maloy Mine situated in the northeastern highlands. A network of primitive transport, including a designated Jeep Trail, provides the only access through these high-altitude ranges. The map provides a clear look at the township and range system at the junction of T. 20 N. and T. 19 N., reflecting the systematic land division used by the Department of the Interior to manage this part of the public domain.
