1968 Map of The Wall SW

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Railroad Valley dominates the eastern portion of this high-desert landscape, captured during a 1967 photogrammetric survey conducted in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission. The topography is defined by the dramatic convergence of The Wall Range and the Pancake Range, which separate the wide valley floor from Chuck Wagon Flat to the west. This mid-century survey reveals a sparse but essential network of water sources necessary for life in the Great Basin, notably Pigeon Well and Stone Corral Well. The presence of these named wells and a series of fence lines suggests the area’s continued use for livestock grazing, even as the broader region was being studied for its geological and atomic-era potential.
