1968 Map of The Wall NE

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Railroad Valley and the steep eastern slopes of the Pancake Range dominate this 1968 landscape in Nye County. The survey area, produced in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission, highlights a region where water is the primary arbiter of life and activity. Vital water sources like Warm Spring, Storm Spring, and Coyote Hole Spring are scattered across the arid terrain, often serving as the only landmarks for miles. Human presence is sparse, indicated by a single Corral and a remote Drill Hole. Much of the basin is protected within the Railroad Valley Wildlife Management Area, defined by an indefinite boundary that underscores the shifting, ephemeral nature of the valley floor. Transportation is limited to a primitive Jeep Trail, illustrating the isolation of this high-desert environment before modern development reached into the Nevada interior.
