The Ward Charcoal Ovens stand as the primary landmark in this section of the Egan Range, marking a site where historic beehive-shaped masonry structures once produced fuel for nearby silver mining operations. This landscape, much of which is contained within the Humboldt National Forest, transitions from the high-elevation Willow Creek Basin down into the expansive Steptoe Valley. For those tracing local pioneer history, the presence of Ward Cem provides a specific point of interest near the old townsite area.
