1980 Map of Peavine Ranch

About this map

Peavine Ranch and the Upper Peavine Ranch anchor this landscape of the Toiyabe Range, where water sources like Seyler Spring and Mustang Spring dictate the patterns of human activity in an arid environment. The map shows the transition from the high, dissected terrain of the Toiyabe National Forest down into the expansive Big Smoky Valley. This is a working landscape of the late 1970s, evidenced by several corrals, a Forest Service Station, and isolated wells along Peavine Creek. Mining interest is noted through scattered prospects in the canyons, while a network of jeep trails and a survey marker at Uslm 288 provide evidence of land management and exploration in this portion of Nye County.
