1967 Map of Lunar Crater

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Lunar Cuesta and the volcanic landscape of the Pancake Range dominate this 1967 survey of central Nevada. The map is notable for its depiction of distinct geological formations, including the prominent Lunar Crater and the curiously named Easy Chair Crater. This area, mapped in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission, illustrates a sparse high-desert environment where water sources like Sandy Summit Spring and Iceberg Spring were critical for travelers and surveyors alike. To the west, the broad Hot Creek Valley contains the Blue Jay Hy Maintenance Sta, one of the few human outposts in this territory. The cartography reveals a network of primitive transportation routes, marked as Jeep Trails, winding through features like Monocline Canyon and Buckwheat Rim, connecting isolated points such as Rays Well and various unnamed mines.
