1965 Map of Sheep Creek Range SW

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Sheep Creek Range dominates this mid-1960s survey of Lander County, Nevada, where steep topography transitions into the broad expanse of Boulder Valley. Drainage patterns are clearly defined by the paths of Rock Creek and Mud Creek, which flow through the arid landscape. The map reveals the practical necessities of life in the high desert, documenting isolated water sources such as a Well located along an unnamed road in the valley floor. High-elevation features like the Mesa contrast with the level terrain of the basin, illustrating the stark relief typical of the central Nevada Great Basin region. This topographic record was compiled by the Geological Survey using aerial photographs from 1963 and subsequent field checks to ensure accuracy of the remote terrain.
