The glyphs were created between 1100 and 1900 AD. Both the meaning of the glyphs and their creators remains unclear although the area was inhabited by the Mojave.
The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 15, 1984.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Nevada Entries in the National Register of Historic Places )〕 Mapping of the estimated 250 panels of glyphs was conducted in 2009.
