1984 Map of Nelson SW
USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
Petroglyphs located at the southern end of the Highland Range offer a glimpse into the ancient human presence in this desert landscape. This 1984 survey reveals a transition between the expansive Eldorado Valley to the north and Piute Valley to the south. The mapping detail emphasizes small-scale extractive efforts, noting a Mine Tunnel, multiple Mine Shafts, and several scattered Prospects throughout the foothills. These features, along with an industrial Borrow Pit, suggest a history of prospecting and resource extraction typical of Clark County. The presence of several Guzzler sites points to the management of local wildlife resources in a region otherwise dominated by dry desert washes.
