1969 Map of Quartz Mtn NW

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Broken Hills and the Grayback range dominate this 1969 topographical study of Churchill County, capturing a remote landscape defined by its scarce water sources and mineral potential. The map reveals the vital infrastructure of the high desert, where deep wells like Grayback Well No 1 and the notably Grayback Well No 2 (Dry) provided essential support for ranching or prospecting. A thin network of Jeep Trails snakes through the terrain, connecting isolated points of interest such as Mud Spring and several identified Prospect sites. This survey illustrates the isolation of the Great Basin before further modernization, documenting the specific locations of water and resource exploration that were critical to those navigating or working in this arid environment.
