1996 Map of Sheep Creek Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

The Avawatz Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in the late 20th century, marking the transition between the southern reaches of Death Valley and the Silurian Valley. The map details a rugged terrain defined by significant vertical relief, where resource extraction is evident at the Sheep Cr Mine and various prospects scattered through the northern foothills. Water sources, vital in this arid environment, are specifically noted at Sheep Creek Spring and the Old Mormon Spring (Dry), the latter hinting at the historical pathways used by early travelers through the region. The southwestern portion of the sheet is occupied by the Fort Irwin Military Reservation, illustrating the intersection of public land, private mining interests, and federal defense installations. Drainages like Anvil Canyon and Salt Creek provide the primary geographical structure through the Salt Spring Hills.
