1969 Map of Vigus Butte NE

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Silver Creek School stands as a focal point in this 1969 survey of Lander County, Nevada, serving a remote ranching community. The landscape is defined by the drainage systems of Silver Creek and the North Fork Silver Creek, which are fed by numerous high-altitude water sources such as Alex Spring, China Spring, and Cornin Spring. Settlement is sparse and follows the water, with the Caton Ranch and Silver Creek Ranch established along the valley floor. Evidence of mineral exploration appears in the eastern hills near Alex Canyon, where several Prospects are recorded. This topography reveals the essential reliance on seasonal springs and creeks for livestock and survival in the Great Basin. Access to the higher elevations, including Bernd Canyon and the southern Italian Creek, is maintained via a network of primitive tracks and a Jeep Trail.
