1968 Map of Stargo Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Monitor Range dominates this late-1960s survey, revealing a high-desert landscape of seasonal water sources and steep drainage systems within the Toiyabe National Forest. The map documents a rugged transition into Fish Lake Valley, where hydrological features like Stargo Creek, East Dobbin Creek, and Savory Creek descend toward the valley floor. A notable geological curiosity, the Miniature Grand Canyon, is recorded in the southwestern quadrant, suggesting a concentrated area of erosion that stands out from the surrounding slopes. Human activity is sparse but present, marked by a lone Prospect and a network of jeep trails and trails that navigate the slopes near Stargo Spring. This map is particularly useful for those studying Great Basin land use, as it was produced in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission during a period of intense federal interest in this section of Nye County.
