1980 Map of Parker Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Dry Valley stretches along the eastern edge of this high-desert landscape on the border of California and Nevada, where the drainage patterns of Skedadle Creek and several canyons define the terrain. The map records a transition from high ridges to flat basin floors, marked by intermittent water sources like Telephone Spring and Pipe Spring. Evidence of human activity in this arid environment is sparse but significant for historians, including the identified Skedadle Dam (Site) and unnamed ruins located near the mouth of Parker Canyon. The presence of caves in Thomas Canyon suggests the geological complexity of these slopes, which are traversed primarily by a single Jeep Trail. This 1980 edition, based on earlier 1974-1975 fieldwork, preserves the exact state of the region's land use and survey boundaries before late-century changes.
