1967 Map of Ninemile Mtn

About this map

Ninemile Mountain dominates this high-altitude landscape in northeastern Elko County, providing a clear picture of the remote drainage systems and water sources used in the late 1960s. The terrain is defined by its arid character, where essential water points like Hidden Well and Fivemile Draw Well are mapped alongside the seasonal Twentyone Mile Draw. This 1967 field survey illustrates the minimal human infrastructure present at the time, consisting primarily of a Jeep Trail network and isolated landmarks such as a Water Tank and a short segment of an Aqueduct near Kane Canyon. The absence of developed roads emphasizes the area's isolation, serving as a primary source for researchers tracking historic land use, grazing infrastructure, and high-desert navigation routes.
