About this map

The Olinghouse settlement area in the high desert of the Pah Rah Range is defined by its complex network of canyons and seasonal water sources. This 2018 survey detail shows a landscape where historic land use is visible through the placement of Sheehan Spring, Twin Springs, and Quaking Aspen Spring, which serve as vital hubs in the arid terrain. The topography is dominated by dramatic elevation changes, notably at Pond Peak and White Hill, with numerous named drainages such as White Horse Canyon and Tiger Canyon cutting through the mountains.

Local navigation relies on established routes like Olinghouse Rd and Wilcox Ranch Rd, which connect the scattered points of interest. Notable landmarks like Summit Cave and the headwaters of McClellan Cr provide specific points of reference for those studying the physical geography of the region. The map also records the names of more remote features, including Dead Ox Wash and Stud Horse Canyon, preserving the local nomenclature used by generations of ranchers and outdoorsmen.
