1965 Map of Sheep Creek Range NW

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Wire Corral Ranch sits at the northern edge of this high-desert landscape in Lander County, marking a pocket of human activity in an area defined by steep drainages and open range. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the rising slopes of the Sheep Creek Range, while the western terrain is carved by the converging paths of Sixmile Creek, Antelope Creek, and Rock Creek. This mid-1960s survey captures the geography of Nevada ranching country before modern development, showing isolated infrastructure like a Corral and a Borrow Pit near the western boundary. A single Jeep Trail winds through the southeast, illustrating the limited transit network of the era. The mapping of these intermittent watercourses and scattered livestock improvements provides a record of land use in this part of the Great Basin.
