1967 Map of Pilot Peak

About this map

Pilot Peak dominates the high-altitude terrain along the state line in the late 1960s, serving as a prominent landmark for the transition between the Pilot Creek Valley and the Pilot Range. This survey details a sparsely settled high-desert landscape where water sources are the primary points of interest for livestock and travel. Numerous water points like McCaislion Springs, Cove Springs, and Wilton Spring are critical features, as is the presence of an aqueduct and a well at lower elevations. The map reveals the ranching footprint of the era through the Bar O Ranch and a network of jeep trails navigating rugged corridors such as Horse Canyon and Debbs Canyon. The boundary between Elko and Box Elder counties is clearly delineated as it traverses the mountainous divide between Nevada and Utah.
