1971 Map of Sidehill Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The high ridges of the Schell Creek Range dominate this 1971 study of eastern Nevada, where the terrain falls away into the broad basins of Muleshoe Valley and Cave Valley (Depression). The map documents a landscape defined by scarce water resources and high-altitude crossings, centered on the eponymous Sidehill Pass and the higher Big Mud Pass. Infrastructure is sparse and utilitarian, consisting of a network of Jeep Trails that connect remote outposts like a Corral and a Water Tank near Big Mud Springs. Evidence of exploration is found in the scattered Prospects on the western slopes, while the arid nature of the lowlands is noted by the presence of Meloy Well (Dry) along the sandy bed of Coyote Wash.
