1949 Map of Roberts Creek Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Simpson Park Mountains and the Roberts Mts frame this 1949 landscape, centered on the high desert basins of Eureka County. Ranching life is the primary human imprint here, with isolated holdings such as Indian Ranch, Tonkin Ranch, and Three Bar Ranch connected by the primitive Tonkin Road. These outposts represent the tenuous settlement patterns of mid-century Nevada, where water sources like Indian Spr, Tonkin Spr, and Rutabaga Spring determined the placement of every homestead. The map reveals the topography of the Red Hills and the winding course of Denay Creek, offering a detailed view of the terrain before modern developments. While the area remains largely open range, a solitary Prospect in the southwest suggests the persistent search for mineral wealth that defines the region’s economic history.
