1969 Map of Table Mtn

About this map

The Stillwater Range dominates this Churchill County landscape, rising sharply from the western edge where the Stillwater Wildlife Management Area meets the foot of the mountains. This 1969 field survey details a network of narrow canyons and high peaks, including Mount Lincoln and the Slaughter Peaks, which defined the local topography before modern development. Notable for those interested in the era's land use, the map identifies sparse but critical water sources like Hard Time Spring and West Lee Well, alongside evidence of industrial activity at several Borrow Pits. The presence of a single telephone line and numerous Jeep Trails carving through Quaking Aspen Canyon and Long Pete Canyon illustrates the area's remote character and the reliance on primitive road networks for access to the high desert terrain.
