Purpus's reference is not to present day Ralston Valley in Nye County, Nevada.
He was using the map in the Death Valley Expedition (Coville, 1893)
which shows the Ralston Desert as covering a large area of south-western Nevada.
Purpus's statement placing Sarcobatus Flat in the Ralston Desert would put it in
Esmeralda and Nye Counties
Perhaps the name was derived from the name of an
old stage station south of Beatty. 1898.

What is referred to by Purpus as Reveille Valley is actually Railroad Valley.
The name Reveille Valley is used today to refer to the next valley west of
Railroad Valley. Railroad Valley is bordered by the Quinn Canyon and Grant
Ranges on the east and by the Reveille and Pancake Ranges on the west. 1898.
