1956 Map of Mount Callaghan

About this map

Mount Callaghan dominates the northern reaches of the Shoshone Range in this mid-century Nevada survey, where the high mountain slopes descend into the wide expanse of Grass Valley. This is a landscape of established high-desert ranching, marked by family-named operations including the Grass Valley Ranch, Callaghan Ranch, and Streshley Ranch. The distribution of water is central to life here, with numerous vital points such as Rye Patch Spring, Burton Spring, and Streshley Spring sustaining both livestock and local residents near the southern boundary of the Toiyabe National Forest.
