1965 Map of Willow Creek Reservoir SE

About this map

The rugged northern reaches of the Sheep Creek Range define this high-desert landscape in northern Nevada, where the 1960s terrain is marked by a history of mineral exploration. The survey documents several specific extraction sites, including the Old Timers Mine and the Clementine Mine, alongside various unnamed prospects scattered across the ridgelines. This concentration of mines suggests a period of active or legacy prospecting in the hills between the Lander and Eureka county line. Water sources are scarce but critical to the geography, with Little Antelope Creek and Antelope Creek carving drainage patterns through the mountains, supported by isolated points like Mud Spring. The map provides a precise look at the land before major modern developments, preserving the original names of the small-scale mining operations that once dotted these slopes.
