1957 Map of Elk Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Humboldt National Forest dominates this mid-century landscape along the Idaho-Nevada state line, where the high desert meets the volcanic plateaus of the Great Basin. The area is defined by a network of drainage forks including the North Fork, Middle Fork, and South Fork that feed into the larger Canyon Creek and Salmon Falls Creek systems. Human presence is sparse, centered on the O'Neil Ranch and the Pole Creek Ranger Sta, with several mines and a Quarry indicating the region's mineral interests. The topography is exceptionally varied, rising from the Buckhorn Pasture and Choke-a-man Draw to prominent peaks such as Red Elephant Butte and White Elephant Butte. Numerous benchmarks, such as BM 9223, indicate the high elevation of the Elk Mountain range during this 1957 survey.
