1969 Map of Iron Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Old Overland Road traces the northern edge of this high-desert landscape in the late 1960s, cutting across the vast Smith Creek Valley. The terrain is defined by the sharp rise of the Toiyabe National Forest to the east, where the peaks of Iron Mountain and the ridge of Saddle Back dominate the skyline. This survey captures a remote working landscape characterized by sparse water sources like Brown Well and drainage via Birchim Creek. Human activity is marked by utility and transport, from the isolated Landing Strip on the valley floor to the various borrow pits and a network of jeep trails and the Elkhorn Road winding through the foothills. The presence of Railroad Pass at the northeast corner suggests a natural corridor used for transit through the mountainous divide.
