1972 Map of Pirouette Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Dixie Valley (Depression) dominates this corner of the Great Basin, where the stark topography of the Nevada desert is recorded with precision in the early 1970s. The landscape is defined by the sharp descent from Pirouette Mtn toward the alkali flats, with ephemeral drainage systems like Elevenmile Wash and Dixie Valley Wash cutting through the arid terrain. Human activity is sparse and focused on the survival and extraction common to the region's history. A solitary Elevenmile Well and a Corral provide evidence of rangeland use, while various Prospects and a singular Prospect near Red Top Gulch indicate the localized mineral exploration that once drew miners to these remote ranges. In the northwest, Cain Spring offers a rare water source among the high ridges of Cain Canyon and Slaughter Canyon.
