1969 Map of Mule Deer Ridge SE

About this map

The Sheep Range and Elbow Range dominate this high-desert environment, located within the expansive Desert National Wildlife Range. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the map documents a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes and scarce water sources. Notable hydrologic features such as Cherry Spring, Grapevine Spring, and Cabin Spring appear along the mountain slopes, serving as critical landmarks in an otherwise arid expanse. Evidence of human presence is sparse, marked primarily by a rugged Jeep Trail and several unidentified ruins. The map also illustrates the Lincoln Co Clark Co line, which follows an Indefinite Boundary through the mountainous terrain, highlighting the challenges of early land surveying in this corner of Nevada.
