1964 Map of Dove Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Pyramid Lake Indian Reservation dominates this 1964 survey of the Nevada high desert, where the eastern shoreline of Pyramid Lake meets the stark topography of the Lake Range. The terrain is defined by steep elevation changes, from the waters of Artillery Bay at 3,792 feet to the peaks overlooking Big Basin. Rare water sources like Sevenmile Spring and various unnamed springs provided vital points of orientation in this arid landscape. Transport across the reservation was limited to a few unimproved routes and a Jeep Trail, illustrating the isolation of the area during the mid-20th century. Notable landforms including Howitzer Slide and Blizzard Camp Point mark the rugged northwestern edge of the sheet, while a lone Well and a Gravel Pit indicate the minimal human industrial footprint in this remote portion of Washoe County.
