1970 Map of Parsnip Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Wilson Creek Range dominates the topography of this high-altitude landscape, where reliable water sources were the primary anchor for human activity. In an arid environment defined by deep drainages like Bowling Wash and Coyote Wash, the concentration of named springs suggests a network of essential landmarks for early ranchers and travelers. The presence of Buckhorn Ranch in the northern portion of the quadrangle illustrates the isolated nature of cattle operations in this part of Lincoln County. Movement across this terrain was facilitated by a sparse network of jeep trails, connecting remote points such as Hulse Springs and Cole Spring. Notable geological and topographical landmarks including Parsnip Peak and the curiously named Throwout Knee Spring provide specific waypoints for those tracing the history of land use in this high desert region.
