1968 Map of High Peak

About this map

Stewart Valley and the Resting Spring Range dominate this late-1960s survey of the arid borderlands between Nevada and California. The landscape is defined by the stark transition from the alluvial floor of the valley, featuring a notable depression, to the steep contours of High Peak. A significant historical boundary, the Von Schmidt Line, cuts through the terrain, marking an earlier attempt to define the state border. Evidence of desert transit and resource exploration is visible in the paths of Ash Meadows Road and the Old Traction Road, while a lone Prospect on the eastern slopes of the mountains suggests the region's mining interests. The map provides a clear view of the intersection of Nye and Inyo counties, preserving the remote character of this high desert environment.
