1968 Map of Morey Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Morey Peak and the high ridges of the Hot Creek Range dominate this Nevada landscape, where the Atomic Energy Commission cooperated in the 1968 mapping. The terrain transitions from the Little Fish Lake Valley in the west to Hot Creek Valley in the south, revealing a network of remote ranching outposts and springs. Significant local history is preserved in the presence of the Old Page Place, Old Dugan Ranch, and the Arrastra Ruins, the latter suggesting early ore processing in these canyons. A Kiln in Wood Tick Canyon and the Orange Lichen mine point to the area's small-scale industrial past. Navigating this high-desert environment relied on a series of trails and springs such as Pott Hole Spring and Lower Fandango Spring, which provided essential water for livestock and travelers alike.
