1949 Map of Roberts Creek Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Indian Ranch and Tonkin Ranch anchor this post-war landscape of the high Great Basin, where early cattle and sheep operations followed the available water sources. The terrain is dominated by the Roberts Mountains and Simpson Park Mountains, with the prominent summit of Roberts Creek Mtn rising above Denay Valley. Life in this arid region centered on scattered springs such as Indian Spr, Tonkin Spr, and Black Spr, which supported both livestock and transient camps. Evidence of mineral exploration appears via a Prospect located near the Red Hills. The map shows a clear network of movement through the high desert, including passage through McClusky Pass and Tonkin Summit, connecting isolated hubs like Three Bar Ranch and Willow Creek Ranch to the broader Eureka County area during the mid-century period.
