1957 Map of Grapevine Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The high desert divide of the Grapevine Mountains dominates this 1957 survey, marking the stark boundary between California and Nevada. Remote mining camps and ranching outposts define the early human footprint here, with the Leadfield and Mexican Camp sites serving as markers of boom-era aspirations. The landscape is carved by deep drainages such as Titus Canyon and Titanothere Canyon, which descend toward the low-lying Mesquite Flat in the southern portion of the quadrangle. High points like Grapevine Peak and Wahguyhe Peak provide significant topographic relief, while scattered water sources like Alkali Spring and Klare Spring were critical for survival. Evidence of early habitation and resource extraction is found throughout the high country, including the Phinney Mines and ancient Petroglyphs near the canyon floor.
