1969 Map of Vigus Butte NW

About this map

White House Ranch sits along the braided course of the Reese River in this arid Nevada landscape mapped in the late 1960s. The terrain transitions from the steep, shaded contours of the Ravenswood range in the west to the alluvial fan where Garden Spring and Italian Cr descend toward the valley floor. The map documents early industrial and transportation attempts in Lander County, marked by an Old Railroad Grade that cuts across the northern flats and several extraction sites like the Ladida Pit and a remote Prospect. Long-established water sources and drainage patterns, including Silver Creek and various wells, define the life and economy of this high-desert region, while several segments of Jeep Trail provide the only access into the more forbidding upland areas.
