1988 Map of Gold Park

About this map

The Toiyabe National Forest dominates the eastern landscape of this Nevada quadrangle, where steep canyons and water sources defined the limits of high-desert activity. Resource management and historical land use are evident in the presence of an Aqueduct, a Ditch, and scattered Prospect markings indicating the search for mineral wealth. The flat expanse of the Smith Creek Depression Valley occupies the western portion of the map, providing a stark contrast to the timbered heights. Local history is anchored by Peterson Station and family-named water sources like Peterson Spring. The transition from the valley floor to the mountains is marked by the winding courses of Willow Creek and Gold Creek, with several 4wd tracks and trails navigating the rugged terrain between Dry Canyon and Eagle Canyon.
