1970 Map of Chief Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Chief Range dominates this 1970 study of Lincoln County terrain, anchored by the prominent summit of Chief Mountain. The landscape is defined by the steep transition from high peaks to the branching drainage systems of Antelope Canyon and Chief Canyon. At the southern edge of the sheet, the town of Caliente sits at the junction of the Union Pacific railroad and the Meadow Valley Wash, illustrating the vital intersection of rail transport and water resources in the high desert. Scattered across the hillsides are markers of early mineral exploration and ranching infrastructure, including a prospect, the Cobalt site, and the isolated George Roger Well. A network of rugged tracks, labeled simply as Jeep Trail, provides the only access into the high country and the Klondike Spring area, revealing how much of this landscape remained remote and accessible only by four-wheel drive during the 1970s.
