1959 Map of Preston Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Jakes Valley and the White River Valley define the arid landscape of this 1950s-era survey, divided by the high peaks of the Egan Range. In this remote corridor of eastern Nevada, water management is the primary driver of development, illustrated by a network of isolated outposts such as Midway Well, Jakes Wash Well, and the Preston Seeding Windmill. The presence of the Preston Reservoir and the Deadman Gulch Reservoir indicates the careful capture of seasonal drainage from the surrounding mountains, while the Humboldt National Forest boundary marks the edge of the protected high country.
