About this map

Charcoal Kilns stand as a physical reminder of early industrial activity in the high elevations of the Spring Mountains on this 1980s-era survey. The map documents a landscape defined by scarce water sources and rugged topography, where the Wheeler Pass Road serves as a primary artery through the Toiyabe National Forest. The presence of several vital water points, such as Wheeler Well and Buck Spring, underscores the strategic importance of these locations for travelers crossing the range between Clark Canyon and Wallace Canyon. Near the seasonal drainage of Wheeler Wash, the label for Rosebud Spring (Dry) illustrates the arid conditions of the terrain during this period. This provisional survey captures the intersection of natural resource management and historical land use in a transition zone of the Great Basin.
