1970 Map of White River Narrows

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

White River Narrows serves as the focal point of this arid landscape in Lincoln County, Nevada, where the desert canyon floor is punctuated by evidence of early inhabitants and modern resource extraction. The 1970 field check identifies several sites marked as Petroglyphs, indicating the long-standing archaeological importance of these rocky corridors. The White River flows southward through the basin, flanked by a network of Jeep Trails that negotiate the broken terrain. Human activity is sparse but distinct, shown by a Borrow Pit and a lone Well located in the southern flats. This mapping, derived from 1969 aerial photography, documents the transition of the Great Basin terrain before increased modern recreational access changed the character of these remote desert canyons.
