1972 Map of Ibapah Peak

About this map

The Deep Creek Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape, where the Goshute Indian Reservation boundary cuts through rugged alpine terrain. This area was documented in the early 1970s, capturing a remote region defined by steep canyons and sparse mining activity. Evidence of industrial history is visible at the Queen of Sheba Mine, which is connected by the Queen of Sheba Trail to the lower elevations. The map reveals a network of primitive pack trails and footpaths, such as the Granite Trail and Birch Creek Trail, which navigate the sharp rises toward Ibapah Peak and Haystack Peak. The presence of Ruins near the reservation line suggests former habitation or temporary shelters associated with early resource extraction. Water remains the primary shaper of the topography, with numerous drainages like Fifteenmile Creek and Trout Creek carving deep notches into the mountain massif.
