1968 Map of Texas Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Knoll Mountain dominates the western landscape of this Elko County quadrangle, where the high-altitude terrain is defined by a network of seasonal drainages and vital water sources. During the late 1960s, the area's resource potential was marked by several Prospect sites and the Bell Mine located near the head of Bell Canyon. The distribution of Spring labels throughout the high desert, including Texas Spring and Opal Spring, indicates a reliance on these specific points for livestock and mining operations in an otherwise arid environment. A sparse network of Trail and Jeep Trail routes provides the only access through Texas Canyon and Corral Canyon, illustrating the isolation of this corner of Nevada. The presence of Trout Creek in the north suggests one of the few persistent watercourses in a region otherwise shaped by rugged relief and remote mining claims.
