1971 Map of California Mtn.

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The Humboldt National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape, dominated by the peaks of Independence Mountain and California Mountain. This 1971 field-checked survey reveals a remote ranching and prospecting territory where the Independence Mountains shed water through numerous drainages such as Pratt Creek and Foreman Creek. The presence of a Prospect near the head of Stump Creek and a network of jeep trails through Jerritt Canyon indicates the area's ongoing mineral interest during the late 20th century. Lowland activity is concentrated at family operations like Evans Ranch and Jose Ranch, which relied on the complex watershed of the North Fork Pratt Creek and Middle Fork Foreman Creek. The map serves as a vital record of land use in Elko County before larger-scale modern industrial mining significantly altered the local topography.
