1968 Map of Swales Mountain NW

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Coyote Ranch sits at the convergence of mountain drainages in this mid-century survey of the high desert terrain along the Eureka Co Elko Co line. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of seasonal watercourses, including Maggie Creek, Little Jack Creek, and Coyote Creek, which draw from higher elevations toward the valley floors. Evidence of land use and resource management appears in the form of scattered prospects, several gravel pits, and the Rebholtz Well No 1. The map reveals a frontier still characterized by ranching and light extraction, where named water sources like Chicken Springs were vital landmarks for navigation and survival in a region where an Indefinite Boundary still marked the transition between county jurisdictions.
