1969 Map of Quartz Mtn. NW

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Broken Hills and the rising slopes of Grayback define this high-desert landscape in Churchill County during the late 1960s. The map illustrates a harsh, arid environment where survival was dictated by the location of scarce water sources like Mud Spring and Grayback Well No 1. While Grayback Well No 2 (Dry) hints at the challenges of maintaining water access in this terrain, a network of Jeep Trails and primitive roads suggests an era of mineral exploration and ranching access. Small Prospect sites are scattered throughout the hills, reflecting the persistent search for ore in the Great Basin. This survey was field-checked in 1969 and photoinspected in 1980, capturing the remote character of the Nevada desert before modern infrastructure reached these interior ranges.
