1967 Map of Lunar Crater

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Pancake Range dominates this landscape, revealing a stark volcanic topography mapped in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission in the late 1960s. The region is defined by prominent geological formations like the Lunar Crater and the aptly named Easy Chair Crater, surrounded by the Little Lunar Cuesta and Lunar Cuesta. Human presence is sparse, centered on vital water sources like Rays Well and the highway support at Blue Jay Hy Maintenance Sta. This survey captures the area's transition from open range to a site of intense scientific and geological study, with distinct terrain features such as North Kidney Butte and the sheer face of The Wall providing clear landmarks for navigation. Seasonal water sources, including Iceberg Spring and Rattlesnake Springs, appear alongside the expansive Hot Creek Valley, marking the essential points of survival in this high-desert environment.
