About this map

Huntington Valley and the high desert terrain of eastern Nevada define this mid-century topographic record. The landscape is marked by the presence of isolated cattle operations and seasonal range improvements, reflecting the area's ranching heritage. Several named family outposts, including Elliott High Ranch, Hackwood Ranch, and the Old Porter Ranch, are situated along the edges of the high peaks.

Elevations rise sharply to Robinson Mtn and Cedar Ridge, where a network of ephemeral water sources like Crane Springs and Rock Springs support the local livestock economy. Evidence of small-scale mineral exploration appears through scattered labels for a Prospect and a Shaft. A network of primitive Jeep Trails provides the primary means of navigating the canyons and high ridges, connecting these remote ranching hubs to the lower valley floor.
