1964 Map of Kumiva Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Selenite Range dominates this mid-century Nevada landscape, rising sharply between the Poito Valley and the vast sinks of the San Emidio Desert. This 1964 field-checked survey documents a rugged Basin and Range environment where water is the primary architect of human activity. Landmarks like Obrien Ranch and various springs, including Boiling Spring and Jackass Spring, indicate the scarce points of survival in an otherwise arid expanse. In the southwest corner, the boundary of the Pyramid Lake Indian Reservation meets the San Emidio Range near Kits Peak. The eastern edge is defined by the high points of Kumiva Peak and Mt Limbo, while the southern reaches reveal the shoreline of Winnemucca Lake. Historical land use is evidenced by several gravel pits, Quarries, and the Indian Caves located near Falcon Hill, suggesting a long history of human presence and resource extraction in this stark desert region.
