1989 Map of Petes Summit

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Toiyabe National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape where the Toiyabe Range and Toquima Range meet. This survey shows a land defined by its mining prospects and water sources, essential for survival in the arid terrain of central Nevada. Evidence of early mineral exploration is visible at the Indian Blue Mine and Bronco Mine, along with various unnamed Prospect locations scattered through the canyons. The presence of Toquima Cave suggests a much older human history in the area, while the modern boundary between Lander and Nye counties cuts through the high ridges. Life in this remote stretch of the Great Basin centered on named water points like Petes Spring, Henry Meyer Spring, and Clipper Gap Spring, which provided relief for travelers and early settlers moving through Petes Summit and Clipper Gap.
