1971 Map of California Mtn.

About this map

Independence Mountains and the high-elevation peaks of the Humboldt National Forest dominate this Elko County landscape as it was documented in the early 1970s. The terrain is defined by rugged summits such as Independence Mountain and California Mountain, which overlook a network of seasonal water sources and drainages. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns of the Great Basin, where Pratt Creek, Foreman Creek, and Winters Creek descend from the heights. Sparse human settlement is concentrated at the lower elevations, marked by the Evans Ranch and Jose Ranch. This survey provides a look at the backcountry before modern development, detailing the remote Jeep Trail access through Jerritt Canyon and the location of isolated water points like Deadmans Spring and Mahoney Spring, which were vital for livestock and prospecting in this arid environment.
