1986 Map of Merritt Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Merritt Mountain anchors this rugged section of the Humboldt National Forest in northern Nevada, where high-elevation peaks and deeply incised canyons define the drainage patterns of the Great Basin. This mid-1980s provisional survey documents an landscape of resource extraction and transit, evidenced by the historic California Trail crossing the western foothills and numerous prospects scattered through the drainage of Big Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the water sources critical to this arid region, including Rough Mountain Springs, Jenkins Spring, and Archies Spring. A Telephone Line cuts through the Mahoganies and across Vincenti Canyon, tracing a modern path through terrain otherwise marked by traditional landmarks like Point of Rocks and the Horse Range. The topography reveals a transition from the prominent heights of Sunflower Mountain down to the high-desert expanse of Meadow Flat.
