1967 Map of Morey Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Hot Creek Range dominates this late-1960s survey of Nye County, Nevada, centered on the high elevations of Morey Peak and Mahogany Peak. This high-desert environment is defined by its scarce water sources, as seen in the concentration of named springs such as Lower Fandango Spring, Cold Spring, and Red Spring. The map documents early infrastructure supporting this arid landscape, including a prominent Aqueduct located near Morey, and a network of jeep trails navigating through deep incisions like Sixmile Canyon and Morey Canyon. The presence of Waddles Ridge and Devils Cave Ridge highlights a complex topography of ridges and canyons, including specifically named features like Hacksaw Canyon and Orange Lichen Creek. This survey, produced in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission, reflects the remote character of the interior Nevada basin during an era of significant geological and environmental study.
