1979 Map of Powers Well

About this map

Powers Well sits as a central water source in this high desert landscape of Washoe County, where the terrain transitions from the broad Long Valley (Depression) into the elevated reaches of Antelope Flat. This late 1970s survey captures a working ranching environment defined by vital water points and livestock infrastructure, including the 3-C Windmill and the specifically named Cold Weather Reservoir. The landscape is etched by a network of primitive Jeep Trails that negotiate the slopes of Crabapple Ridge, providing the primary means of movement through this sparsely populated territory. Several benchmarks, such as BM 5594 and BM 5721, provide precise elevation data for land surveyors and researchers tracing historic property boundaries. The presence of a Borrow Pit and the secluded Lone Jumper Spring further illustrate the localized human footprint on this otherwise remote Nevada landscape.
