1971 Map of Leppy Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Leppy Hills straddle the desert border between Elko and Tooele Counties, providing a high-relief landscape overlooking the Pilot Creek Valley. This 1971 survey, photorevised in the early 1980s, highlights a region where ancient geology meets modern infrastructure. To the south, Jukebox Cave and Limestone Cave sit near the State Historical Mon, indicating the area's significance for early human habitation and archaeology. The terrain is marked by dramatic features like Window Rock, Needle Point, and Bear's Claw along Dairy Canyon. Evidence of desert water management and transit is found in the Leppy Reservoir and an aqueduct following the base of the mountains. Various prospects and borrow pits suggest localized mining activity, while radio facility towers atop heights like Wendover Peak underscore the importance of these peaks for communication across the Great Basin.
