1970 Map of Montezuma Peak SE

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Goldfield Hills and the Cuprite Hills define this high-desert region in Esmeralda County, where the landscape is marked by a network of drainage features such as Jackson Wash. The mapping, based on 1968 aerial photography, shows a terrain shaped by mineral exploration and transient use rather than permanent settlement. Discrete markers of human activity are present in the form of a Prospect and a Mine located in the northern reaches, connected by a primitive Jeep Trail system that traverses the arid flats and volcanic uplands. The label Halfway sits near a high point in the northern hills, suggesting a local landmark or waypoint. This survey provides a record of the Great Basin topography before later developments, detailing benchmarks like BM 5466 and BM 5316 that anchored the region's geodetic framework.
