1987 Map of San Antonio Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Big Smoky Valley dominates this high-desert landscape in Nye County, revealing a remote region defined by its scarce water resources and ranching outposts in the mid-1980s. The settlement of San Antonio Ranch serves as a primary landmark, accompanied nearby by the label for San Antonio and a critical San Antonio Well. This area illustrates the infrastructure required for desert survival and industry, including an Aqueduct and a prominent Transmission Line cutting across the valley floor. To the west, the drainage of Peavine Creek flows toward the center of the basin, where active geological processes are evident in the sprawling Sand Dunes. Evidence of mineral exploration and land use is found in scattered Prospects and a Borrow Pit, while multiple Spring and Wells locations pinpoint the few reliable water sources available in this arid stretch of the Great Basin.
