1967 Map of Black Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Black Butte dominates this northern Nevada landscape, a prominent volcanic landmark in an area defined by high-desert hydrology and seasonal water sources. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the terrain shows a network of remote Jeep Trail paths that crisscross the sagebrush country, connecting ephemeral drainages like Burnt Creek and Pole Creek. These routes provided essential access for ranching and mineral exploration in a region where water is the most critical resource.
