1986 Map of Baldy Peak

About this map

The Antelope Range dominates this mid-1980s landscape in White Pine County, rising to its topographical high point at Baldy Peak. The eastern slopes are characterized by a series of deep drainage systems, including Cottonwood Canyon, Secret Canyon, and Tunnel Canyon, while the western side is defined by the headwaters of the Spring Valley Creek system. This map captures a classic Great Basin environment where water resources are scarce, marked by isolated springs that supported the region's ranching and prospecting history. The complex network of ephemeral waterways like Middle Creek and Sharp Creek illustrates the seasonal flow patterns that shaped local land use and transit routes across the range during the late twentieth century.
