1956 Map of Homer Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Fort Piute (Ruins) and nearby Petroglyphs stand as significant cultural markers in this desert landscape along the Old Government Road. This mid-century survey documents the transition between the high Piute Range and the expansive Piute Valley, where water sources like Piute Spring were critical for historical travel. The map clearly delineates the Von Schmidt Line, the original 1873 border survey between California and Nevada, which cuts diagonally across the terrain of the Dead Mountains and Newberry Mountains. Small-scale mining activity is evident through the Juniper Mine and scattered shafts, while the northeastern corner shows the boundary of the Lake Mead National Recreational Area. The network of Jeep Trails and unnamed trails crossing Piute Wash illustrates the region's 1950s accessibility for mineral exploration and desert passage.
