About this map

Medicine Lodge Creek dominates the eastern drainage of this high-desert landscape in Clark County, where the small settlement of Small sits at the base of the foothills. Mapped during the early 1960s, the terrain reveals a transition from the narrow canyon of Deep Creek to the open flats marked by numerous bench marks like BM 5281. The map captures a moment of specific land use, showing a Prospect and several Gravel Pits indicating early resource extraction in the region.

Local infrastructure is defined by a network of unimproved roads and a notable Jeep Trail cutting across the north-central sections. The presence of a perennial Spring near the center of the sheet provides a rare water source in this arid environment, while the detailed topography shows the complex drainages that feed into the larger creek system, critical for the area's ranching and agricultural history.
