1971 Map of Alpha Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Alpha Mountain dominates this 1970s orthophoto survey, providing a detailed photographic record of the high desert terrain along the Humboldt Co Pershing Co boundary. The map captures a landscape defined by aridity and isolation, where transportation is limited to a network of a Jeep Trail winding through the alluvial fans and volcanic formations. Evidence of human activity is sparse but significant, centered on resource extraction and livestock management. Several Prospects are marked on the northern slopes, reflecting the region's mineral potential, while a lone Corral in the southeast suggests the seasonal movement of cattle through this arid range. To the northwest, the white expanse of Alkali Flats indicates a dry lake bed, while the prominent landmark of Haystack Butte rises sharply from the surrounding flats.
