1986 Map of Government Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Government Peak stands as the primary landmark in this high-desert portion of White Pine County, overlooking a landscape defined by an intricate system of drainage washes and mountain canyons. Mapping from the 1980s reveals a network of primitive tracks and 4wd routes that navigate the varying elevations between Little Valley and the western slopes. Life in this arid environment is anchored by water sources like Cain Springs and a series of wells, which supported ranching or prospecting efforts in the region. The map tracks several major ephemeral waterways, including Tungstonia Wash and George Indian Wash, which carve through the terrain. To the southwest, the entrance to Cave Canyon and the Little Hills provide distinct geographic boundaries to this corner of the Nevada wilderness.
