1972 Map of Pinto Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The arid landscape of Humboldt County, Nevada, is defined here by the rise of Pinto Mountain and the sweeping reaches of the Black Rock Desert. In the early 1970s, this area remained largely remote, centered on essential water sources and mountain access. Geothermal activity is a prominent feature of the terrain, marked by Pinto Hot Springs and a smaller Spring (Hot) located near the upper reaches of Battle Creek. These features indicate the unique geological character of the region where the desert floor meets the rising peaks.
