About this map

Roberts Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape in central Nevada, where steep drainage systems and isolated outposts define the character of the terrain. The central valley is anchored by Roberts Creek Ranch near the southern boundary, a vital hub for water and livestock management in this arid environment. Moving north through Roberts Creek, the map shows a network of remote sites including a Summer Camp and numerous Stock Tanks that supported ranching operations in the 1980s.

The historical footprint of the American West is visible along the southern edge, where the Old Pony Express Trail crosses the landscape. The topographic survey details a geography rich in mineral exploration, marked by scattered Prospects and a Cave near Rutabaga Creek. From the heights of Roberts Creek Mtn to the depths of Cottonwood Canyon, the map traces the intersection of historic transit routes and mid-century land use.
