1968 Map of Warm Springs SE

About this map

Reveille Valley dominates the central portion of this 1968 survey, flanked by the dramatic elevations of the Kawich Range to the west and the Reveille Range to the east. This landscape in Nye County, Nevada, shows the clear markers of mid-century industrial and agricultural attempts in a demanding environment. The presence of the Reveille Mill (Ruins) serves as a significant landmark for those tracing the mining history of the region, while an Aqueduct and scattered Corral sites indicate the essential infrastructure required for water management and livestock. Navigation through this basin-and-range terrain is primarily via a Jeep Trail, emphasizing the area's isolation. In cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission, the Geological Survey mapped these townships just as modern photogrammetric methods were refining our view of the Great Basin.
