2021 Map of Cape Horn

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

The Simpson Park Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Lander County, providing a stark topographical contrast to the broad Big Smoky Valley to the west. This 2021 survey details the northern reaches of the range, centered around the distinctive promontory of Cape Horn. Of significant cultural importance is the Hickison Petroglyph Recreation Area, located in the northeastern quadrant of the map. This area contains the Hickison Petroglyph Recreation Area Trail Phase 1, which traces through a region known for its ancient rock art and prehistoric significance. Water sources are scarce in this arid environment, making the location of Ackerman Spring a critical landmark for both historical travel and modern land management. The map also delineates several township and range boundaries, including t18.5n r46e and t19n r46e, reflecting the complex public land survey system characteristic of the Great Basin.
