1989 Map of Wallaces Peak

About this map

Wah Wah Ranch and its vital water infrastructure anchor this high-desert landscape in the late twentieth century. Located at the foot of the Wah Wah Mountains, the ranch is supported by a network of ditches and an aqueduct that channel water toward the Wah Wah Valley. This reliance on controlled irrigation is further evidenced by the Wah Wah Reservoir and the Wah Wah Springs near Wallaces Peak. The presence of a small Cem near the springs and multiple drill holes throughout the valley floor suggests a history of localized settlement and resource exploration. The map also traces the seasonal paths of the Wah Wah Wash and Quartz Willow Creek, illustrating the drainage patterns that define this arid terrain.
