1965 Map of Sheep Creek Range NE

About this map

The high ridges of the Sheep Creek Range dominate this mid-1960s survey of the Nevada interior, where the high desert terrain meets the northern reaches of Boulder Valley. The landscape is defined by its isolation and utility, featuring a remote Landing Strip in the northwestern section and a network of rugged transportation routes labeled simply as Jeep Trail. Water is scarce in this environment, with the ephemeral flow of Boulder Cr in the southeast being one of the few named drainage features. This map also preserves the administrative division between Lander and Eureka counties, which cuts directly through the high-elevation country of the range, offering a precise view of the boundary lines before modern development or road improvements in the Great Basin region.
