1990 Map of Ninemile Peak

About this map

The Antelope Range and the high desert of the Antelope Valley define this Central Nevada landscape at the intersection of Eureka and Nye counties. This 1990 provisional map documents a transition from the alluvial fans of the valley floor into the steep, rising elevations of the range, culminating at Ninemile Peak. The presence of small-scale mining activity is evident through numerous scattered Prospect and Prospects labels, alongside a Gravel Pit in the northwest. Water resources are critically mapped in this arid environment, showing essential seasonal drainages like White Rock Creek and Meadow Creek, as well as permanent water sources such as Water Canyon Spring and Mountain Lion Spring. A portion of the Toiyabe National Forest occupies the western edge, indicating federal land management in this cattle-grazing and mineral-exploration territory.
