1973 Map of Blue Nose Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Blue Nose Peak rises as the central topographical landmark in this arid portion of Lincoln County, overlooking the expansive drainage of the Tule Desert. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral flow of Garden Wash and Rocks Camp Wash, where seasonal water management is evidenced by several dams and the remote White Rock Reservoir. Human activity in this high-desert environment is largely centered on resource extraction and livestock, as indicated by numerous prospects and mines scattered across the northern slopes. A network of jeep trails provides the only access through the basin, connecting isolated points of interest such as the End of the Line Trough and the natural catchments at Dodge Pockets. The survey captures a moment when traditional land use—mining and ranching—remained the primary imprint on the Nevada desert.
