1956 Map of Homer Mtn.

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Fort Piute (Ruins) and the ancient Piute Spring anchor this 1950s study of the high desert along the border of California and Nevada. The map documents a rugged landscape defined by the Piute Range and the Homer Mountains, where historical transit routes like the Old Government Road cut across the arid terrain. The presence of the Von Schmidt Line (1873) provides a rare visual of the original surveyed boundary between the two states, illustrating the challenges of 19th-century geodetic work. To the east, the Lake Mead National Recreational Area reaches into the Newberry Mountains, while scattered industrial markers such as a Shaft and various prospects indicate the region's mining interests. The drainage of the Piute Wash serves as the primary hydrological feature, cutting between the ranges and defining the local topography.
