1990 Map of Gooch Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge dominates this high-altitude landscape in Humboldt County, where the vast Gooch Table plateau rises over five thousand feet. The 1990 survey captures a region defined by its critical water resources, essential for both wildlife and historic ranching operations. Scattered across the terrain are named water sources including Gooch Lake, Upper Jacobs Water Hole, and Center Reservoir. The map reveals a legacy of exploration through various Prospects located near the head of Echo Canyon, signaling mineral interest in the volcanic soils. The remote nature of this corner of Nevada is underscored by the absence of permanent settlements, replaced instead by functional landmarks like Sheep Pen Reservoir and the descriptively named Hell Creek. Geologic features such as Rhyolite Spring and Perlite Reservoir point to the area's volcanic origins and the specific stone that defines the local geology.
