1961 Map of The Cedars

About this map

Reese River defines the central corridor of this Nevada landscape, flowing through a broad valley flanked by the Fish Creek Mountains and the Shoshone Range. The 1961 topography reveals a land defined by water access and mining potential, with early infrastructure such as the Old Grade and various Jeep Trails connecting remote sites. Evidence of early settlement and ranching appears at Fish Creek Ranch and Smith Flat, while the Presence of Mine and Prospect symbols indicates the region's mineral interests. The map also highlights distinctive natural landmarks like Valley of the Moon and the eponymous The Cedars, alongside unique geological features like Elephant Head and several Hot Springs that dot the arid terrain.
