About this map

The Goshute Indian Reservation Boundary borders the northeastern portion of this High Desert landscape, where the South Mountains dominate the central and southern terrain. This 1981 survey documents a region defined by high-altitude ranching and mining potential, with small outposts such as Refuge and a Corral situated near the broad expanse of Antelope Valley. The presence of several vital water sources, including Coyote Spring, Moffitt Spring, and Blind Spring, highlights the critical importance of localized springs for survival and livestock in this arid environment.

Evidence of historical resource exploration is found at the Prospects located near Cedar Spring. The topography is marked by significant drainages and passes, such as Tippett Canyon and Cedar Pass, which likely served as primary transit corridors through the mountains. To the north, Spring Creek Flat transitions into the reservation land, illustrating the intersection of public lands, private ranching interests, and tribal territories in eastern White Pine County.
