1970 Map of Pierson Summit

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Wilson Creek Range dominates this high-altitude landscape in Lincoln County, where the terrain centers on the namesake Pierson Summit. The map, based on 1969 aerial photography, reveals a remote area defined by its water sources and mining history. Several Mines are marked in the northern sections, suggesting a legacy of prospecting and resource extraction in these mountains. The scarcity of permanent settlements is offset by a network of Jeep Trail routes that connect critical water points across the arid slopes. These landmarks, including Tower Spring, Lower Tower Spring, and the uniquely named Coal Burner Spring, were vital for livestock and early travelers navigating the high basins. To the south, the Red Buttes provide a distinct geological contrast to the surrounding peaks, while Willow Spring serves as a lone landmark in the lower elevations.
