1956 Map of North Shoshone Peak

About this map

The Yomba Indian Reservation occupies the central valley of this mid-century survey, flanked by the high elevations of the Shoshone Mountains and the Toiyabe Range. This interior Nevada landscape is defined by the northward flow of the Reese River, which draws from numerous drainage systems like Marysville Creek and Cottonwood Creek. The high peaks, including North Shoshone Peak and French Peak, provide a vertical contrast to the grazing lands near O'Toole Ranch. Evidence of land use is scattered throughout the canyons, with a Shaft and several Prospect locations indicating mineral exploration in the Toiyabe National Forest. Transportation through the area relies on a network of unpaved routes, including the Marysville Trail and various jeep trails that connect isolated points like Bonita and Upper Cole Camp Springs.
