1971 Map of Jet Spring

About this map

The high ridges of the Toquima Range dominate this central Nevada landscape, where the peaks of the Toiyabe National Forest reach toward a distinctive landmark named Mt Ziggurat. This 1971 survey captures a remote wilderness defined by steep relief and a handful of human incursions related to the regional extraction economy. On the eastern slopes, a single Mine and various Prospects indicate the continued interest in the mineral wealth of the high desert, while a network of primitive Jeep Trails provides the only access through the rugged terrain.
