1965 Map of Duffer Peak

About this map

Duffer Peak dominates the northern reaches of this high-desert landscape in Humboldt County, where numerous springs and creeks descend from the Pueblo Mountains into the surrounding basins. The map illustrates a ranching and mining economy centered on isolated outposts like the Woodward Ranch and the Leonard Creek Ranch. At the Dyke location, a local cemetery and Dyke Hot Springs suggest a more active past settlement than the ruins implied by the label.
