1990 Map of Thousand Creek Spring

About this map

Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge dominates this high desert landscape along the Nevada-Oregon border, where the Great Basin terrain is marked by distinctive plateaus and seasonal water sources. The map captures the remote character of the region as it appeared in the late 1980s, centered on the expansive Big Spring Table. Human presence is sparse, represented by McKenney Camp and several identified prospects and a quarry, indicating small-scale exploration in this protected habitat.
