1972 Map of High Rock Lake

About this map

High Rock Lake sits at the center of this 1972 landscape, where the high desert terrain of the Washoe and Humboldt County line is defined by a network of deep drainage systems and seasonal water sources. The map reveals a land utilized for remote ranching and seasonal camps, notably the Mahogany Creek Canyon Camp located near the head of Mahogany Creek Canyon. The intricate drainage patterns are anchored by High Rock Canyon and Little High Rock Canyon, features that have historically served as critical passage points through the northwestern Nevada desert.
