1986 Map of Desert Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Desert Peak stands as the prominent high point in this mid-1980s survey of the Nevada high desert. The landscape is defined by the intersection of the Trinity Range and the Hot Springs Mountains, where rugged topography meets the expanse of the Fortymile Desert. The map reveals a region heavily shaped by mineral exploration and energy development, marked by numerous prospects and distinct mining operations like the Fallon Eagle Mine and Desert Queen Mine near Cinnabar Hill. The presence of a Geothermal Well in the southern reaches highlights the area's transition toward modern energy extraction, while the Double Wood Pole Trans Line cuts a straight path across the desert floor, following the corridor of ancient migratory routes through this arid terrain.
