1986 Map of The Cove

About this map

Humboldt National Forest defines the western edge of this Nevada landscape, where the high terrain of the Snake Range drops toward the Utah border. This 1980s survey captures a transition between the elevated wilderness of Red Ledge Canyon and Old Mans Canyon and the arid flats to the east. Extensive mapping of extractive activity is visible throughout the slopes, with numerous Quarries and Prospects scattered along the drainages of Hampton Creek and Hendrys Creek. This concentration of survey points suggests a period of active geological exploration or mineral assessment in the region. Near the center of the map, the namesake feature The Cove sits below the ridgeline, while Caine Spring provides a rare water source in the lower elevations near the county line.
