1968 Map of Mt. Schader SE

About this map

The Last Chance Range dominates the western half of this Nevada landscape, showing sharp elevation changes as the mountains descend into the flat expanse of the Pahrump Valley. This 1968 field-checked survey reveals an arid environment defined by water management and resource exploration, with numerous scattered wells providing the primary infrastructure for any activity in the valley. A single prospect located on the northern slopes of the range suggests small-scale mining interests typical of this high desert region. Transport is limited to a network of unimproved routes, including a Jeep Trail that cuts across the valley floor, reflecting the rugged and sparsely populated character of the terrain during the late 1960s.
