1968 Map of Portuguese Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Portuguese Mountain dominates this section of the Pancake Range, where the high desert terrain descends sharply toward the eastern expanse of Railroad Valley. Surveyed in the late 1960s in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission, the landscape is defined by its vital water sources and remote access routes. A network of Jeep Trails provides the only passage through this arid environment, connecting various natural seeps such as Ike Spring, Little Ike Spring, and Martin Spring. These springs feed ephemeral drainages like Ike Spring Wash and Little Ike Spring Wash that cut through the foothills. To the south, the deep incision of Wood Canyon further breaks the topography, marking a transition point between the elevated peaks and the low valley floor.
