1973 Map of White Rock Creek

About this map

Egan Range peaks and the high desert flats of Steptoe Valley define this mid-1970s topographical record of eastern Nevada. The landscape is marked by a vital network of water sources necessary for high-altitude ranching and transit, including White Rock Spring, Quaky Spring, and Little White Rock Spring. These springs feed into the drainage of White Rock Creek, which flows eastward toward the valley floor. Evidence of the region’s pastoral history is found in names like Basque Canyon and the presence of localized infrastructure such as the Cattle Camp Wash Well and Horse Camp Well.
