1982 Map of Tenmile

About this map

Selenite Range dominates the western half of this 1980s landscape, providing a stark topographical boundary against the broad expanse of Kumiva Valley to the east. This part of Pershing County is defined by its critical water sources, such as Mud Spring and Antelope Spring, which likely supported the small cluster of activity at Tenmile. The inclusion of a Corral and Water Tank near Tenmile suggests a history of livestock management in an otherwise arid basin. A network of Jeep Trails provides the primary means of traversal through the valley, connecting the high ridges to the southern Twin Buttes. The presence of a Borrow Pit indicates localized resource extraction, perhaps for the maintenance of these remote desert routes.
