1968 Map of Pritchards Station

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The high basins of the Park Range and Antelope Range define this high-desert landscape in central Nevada, captured during a period of cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission. The map centers on a network of isolated outposts and water sources critical to travel across the Hot Creek Valley and the Little Smoky Valley. Historic stopping points such as Pritchards Station and Moores Station anchor the southern reaches, while the notation of Hicks Station (Site) and Summit Station (Site) indicates former structures in the northern foothills and mountain passes. This survey highlights the region's reliance on scattered water points, including Pritchards Spring, Cottonwood Springs, and Dry Lake Well, which dictated the routes of travel and settlement in this arid environment during the late 1960s.
