1980 Map of The Banjo

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Granite Mountain dominates this portion of northwestern Nevada, where the high-desert landscape is defined by its seasonal water sources and isolated ranching outposts. Recorded in the late 1970s, the map reveals the sparse settlement patterns of the era, centered on locales like Clear Creek Ranch and The Orchard. The namesake feature, The Banjo, sits between Granite Peak and Little Cottonwood Creek, marking a distinct topographic formation within the range. Dozens of unnamed Springs and named pools like Garden Springs appear across the slopes, indicating the critical nature of water for livestock and survival in this environment. To the north, Wagon Tire Mountain and Wagon Tire Pass suggest the historical path of travel through the peaks, while remote locations such as The Homestead and a lone Prospect near Sheds point to the varied legacy of land use from early pioneers to miners.
