1969 Map of Emigrant Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Emigrant Peak rises sharply over the high desert landscape of central Nevada, anchoring a rugged chain of peaks sliced by numerous named drainages. To the west, the vast Smith Creek Valley (Depression) dominates the terrain, characterized by sparse water sources such as Drumm West Well and Drumm East Well. The geological transition from the valley floor to the summit is marked by a series of steep ravines, including Sand Canyon, Acree Canyon, and Gilbert Canyon. Evidence of early westward travel is preserved in the trace of the Old Overland Road near Smith Creek Summit, where the historical route crosses the southern portion of the quadrangle. This 1969 field check captures the area's isolation and the enduring path of pioneering trails before modern infrastructure altered the primitive road network.
