1969 Map of Desatoya Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The De Satoya Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape along the boundary of Churchill and Lander counties. Rising to the prominent summit of Desatoya Peak, the range is dissected by deep drainages including Rock Creek Canyon, Big Den Canyon, and Dry Canyon. This late 1960s survey captures the remote character of the region, where water sources like Rock Spring, Big Den Spring, and Park Canyon Spring serve as critical landmarks for navigation and land use. Settlement is sparse, anchored by the community of Eastgate in the western reaches of the quadrangle. The network of jeep trails and the presence of a Gravel Pit suggest a landscape primarily shaped by resource extraction and ranching. The topographical detail reveals a complex system of seasonal watercourses, such as Willow Creek and Buffalo Creek, which carve through the arid terrain below Bald Mountain.
