1986 Map of Gass Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Gass Peak dominates this section of the high desert, serving as a prominent landmark within the Desert National Wildlife Range. The landscape is defined by the convergence of the Sheep Range and the Las Vegas Range, where the presence of numerous water sources like White Spot Spring, Upper White Blotch Spring, and Gass Spring indicates the vital importance of these perennial points in an arid environment. The map details the transition from the Yucca Forest in the north to the distinctive geological formations of Fossil Ridge. Scattered prospects across the slopes reflect historical mineral exploration in these mountains, while the lack of established roads highlights the area's role as a protected wilderness during the 1980s.
