1956 Map of Mt. Grant

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Wassuk Range dominates this mid-century landscape, rising sharply between the East Walker River and the high-elevation waters of Walker Lake. The map details a rugged transition from the river valley, where the East Walker School and Flying M Ranch suggest a sparse but established ranching presence, to the towering heights of Mt Grant and Pike Peak. Significant acreage is dedicated to the Naval Reservation on the eastern slopes, while the western portion falls within the Toiyabe National Forest. Local industrial history is marked by scattered Prospects and a Shaft near Wheeler Pass, indicating small-scale mining efforts tucked into the canyons. Water sources like Chipmunk Spring and Mitchell Spr are critical features in this arid environment, feeding various drainages such as Lapon Canyon and Cottonwood Creek.
