1961 Map of Mt. Moses

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The Fish Creek Mountains dominate this central Nevada landscape, rising sharply between the expansive floor of Jersey Valley and the northern reaches of Antelope Valley. The prominence of Mt Moses serves as a geographic anchor, surrounded by a complex network of drainages including Butcher Canyon and Cedar Canyon. Human activity in the mid-twentieth century is marked by isolated infrastructure, such as the Radio Facility and several gravel pits, alongside a sparse collection of vital water sources like Hess Spring and Little Water Canyon. The map reveals a land defined by transit through high gaps and desert washes, with a prominent Jeep Trail crossing the Fish Creek Basin. The county line between Pershing Co and Lander Co bisects the western slopes, tracing a political boundary through the high terrain.
