2021 Map of Mormon Dan Peak

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Mormon Dan Peak dominates this high-desert terrain where the northwest corner of Black Rock Desert meets the rugged volcanic landscape of the Calico Hills. This 2021 survey traces the corridor of Soldier Meadows Rd as it cuts north through the boundary of Humboldt and Pershing counties, a vital artery through this arid region. The map reveals a series of water sources essential for desert travel and livestock, including Mormon Dan Spring, Whiskey Spring, and Barrel Spring. These names hint at the pioneer and ranching history that moved through the drainage of Mormon Dan Canyon and the surrounding basins. From the elevations of Copper Canyon to the alkali flats, the landscape is defined by its stark transitions and the sparse, vital network of named springs that supported life and movement between the mountain ranges.
