1951 Map of Desert Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Trinity Range and Hot Springs Mountains dominate this 1951 survey of Churchill and Pershing Counties, revealing a landscape defined by mining activity and historic migration corridors. Early industrial sites such as the Copper Queen Mine, Mule Train Mines, and various Diatomaceous Quarry locations are scattered across the high desert terrain. The map's eastern edge transitions into the Alkali Flat (Depression) and the Stillwater Wildlife Management Area near the Humboldt Slough, highlighting the stark contrast between the arid peaks and the low-lying sinks.
