1969 Map of Desatoya Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Eastgate serves as the primary landmark in this high-altitude landscape where the western plains meet the rising Desatoya Mountains. Situated at the boundary of Churchill and Lander counties, the terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes culminating at Desatoya Peak and Bald Mountain. Water is a scarce but vital resource, mapped through a network of isolated springs such as Park Canyon Spring, Big Den Spring, and Dry Canyon Spring. These water sources, alongside seasonal flows like Rock Creek and Buffalo Creek, dictate the historical movement through the area, long before more modern infrastructure. A single Gravel Pit and various primitive routes, including a Jeep Trail, suggest the limited industrial footprint and remote nature of the region in the late 1960s. The map clearly delineates the complex drainage systems of Little Den Canyon and Park Canyon, providing a look at the natural geography of the Nevada interior.
