1964 Map of Pyramid NE

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Pyramid Lake Indian Reservation dominates this shoreline survey, which captures the northeast reaches of the high-desert basin in the mid-1960s. The landscape is defined by the expansive waters of Pyramid Lake, where the shoreline transitions from the wide arc of Fox Beach and Fox Bay to the steep eastern escarpments. The interior terrain is marked by sharp elevation changes, notably at Howitzer Slide and through narrow geographic features like Hells Kitchen Canyon and Sweetwater Canyon. Sparse but vital water sources are documented, including Sweetwater Spring located at the head of its namesake canyon. This survey reveals a largely roadless environment where the topography itself dictated the movement of people and the limits of settlement within the reservation boundaries during this era.
