1986 Map of West of Fagin Mtn

About this map

Grass Valley and the northern reaches of the Simpson Park Mountains define this interior Nevada landscape. The map details a high-desert environment where water sources are the primary landmarks for survival and navigation. Drainage patterns from Cowboy Rest Creek and Rosebush Creek flow toward the valley floor, while several reliable water points including Valley Spring and Twin Springs are noted near the mountain foothills. The presence of an Alkali Flat in the northeast corner indicates the basin's arid character, where seasonal runoff evaporates to leave mineral crusts. This 1980s provisional survey emphasizes the sparse infrastructure of the region, focusing on the natural topography and the primitive roads that follow the contours of Wood Canyon and Callaghan Creek.
