Rattlesnake
In 1911, the Daggett band took the Rattlesnake Pass through the Jackson Mountains.[1][2] Frank Bergon mentions Rattlesnake Pass.[3]
There is also the Rattlesnake Canyon Prospect. Rattlesnake appears in the 1919 Nevada State Road Map as being at the southern end of the Jackson Range.
Bill and Dale DeLong owned the DeLong Ranch, which is probably the present day Jackson Creek Ranch. Bill DeLong purchased the Jackson Creek Ranch in the 1940's and the Trout Creek Ranch in 1956. In 1970, the main house was dated as being from 1915, the milkhouse was the original house.[4] See the Black Rock Desert Gunnery Range for information and references about plane crashes near their ranch.
Dale DeLong's wrote an article about her mother-in-law, Mabel DeLong[5]
