1980 Map of Pidgeon Spring SW

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Black Rock Range dominates the western half of this 1980 survey, characterized by sharp elevation changes and deep drainage patterns. To the east, the landscape transitions into the flat expanse of the Black Rock Desert, a playa where the mapping identifies numerous bench marks such as BM 3970 and BM 3959 along a corridor of light-duty and unimproved roads. Traces of human activity are sparse but notable, including a solitary Prospect located near the southern boundary, reflecting the region's history of mineral exploration. Transport through this arid terrain relied on a network of unpaved paths, ranging from a standard Trail to a more rugged Jeep Trail, while the presence of a single Spring in the northwest corner highlights the critical and rare nature of water sources in this high-desert environment.
