1951 Map of Desert Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Trinity Mountains and the Hot Springs Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in the early 1950s, revealing a region defined by its historic transit corridors and mineral extraction. The map preserves the pathways of the Old California Trail (West Central Road) and the Old California Trail (Carson River Route), which intersect with the modern corridor of the Southern Pacific railroad. Small settlements and railroad stops like Jessup, Huxley, and Parran anchor the sparse population centers between the arid peaks and the low-lying Alkali Flat.
