1990 Map of Alkali Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge dominates this high-desert landscape in northern Nevada, where water sources dictate the patterns of human and animal movement. The map identifies critical riparian features like Virgin Creek and the strikingly named Hell Creek, along with numerous springs that served as vital landmarks for early ranchers and travelers. The Devaney Camp Site near the center of the sheet and Mc Clusky Spring to the south suggest the area's history as rangeland. The topography is defined by the volcanic rises of Alkali Peak, Devaney Mountain, and Mahogany Mountain. In the southeast, the basin drainage is visible at Alkali Reservoir and the nearby Alkali Flat. Small-scale mining activity is indicated by several prospect locations, hinting at the mineral explorations that characterized the remote corners of Humboldt County during this era.
