1971 Map of Leppy Peak

About this map

The Leppy Hills rise sharply above the Pilot Creek Valley in this early 1970s survey of the Nevada and Utah borderlands. Centered on the prominent Leppy Peak, the landscape is a complex of high ridges and significant geological formations, including the archeologically notable Danger Cave State Park. The map documents a network of Jeep Trails navigating the desert terrain, connecting landmarks like Bear Claw Tower and Needle Point to more remote sites such as Jukebox Cave and Limestone Cave. Cultural features are largely centered on infrastructure, with a Radio Facility Tower and Radio Towers Gas Tank & Spot near Wendover Peak. Hydrological data includes the Leppy Reservoir and the drainage of Pilot Creek through areas marked by extensive Sand Dunes. This record captures the high-desert border region before modern expansion, highlighting the intersection of prehistoric sites and twentieth-century telecommunications infrastructure.
