1973 Map of Pony Springs

About this map

Pony Springs serves as a small waypoint along the western edge of the expansive Lake Valley Depression, where water management was critical for ranching and travel in the early 1970s. The landscape is defined by a sophisticated network of water sources, ranging from the Mendenhall Well and Pony Spring Well in the north to the Spotlight Well and Divide Reservoir further south. This reliance on groundwater is evident in the numerous wells and springs scattered across the basin floor. To the west, the Fairview Range and The Cedars provide a dramatic elevation change, where a rugged Jeep Trail climbs past Mark Spring. The map reveals the infrastructure of a working Great Basin landscape, documented through its borrow pits, fences, and a roadside Rest Area near the main thoroughfare.
