1971 Map of Seyler Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Big Smoky Valley Alkali Flat dominates this high-desert landscape in central Nevada, illustrating a classic Great Basin environment defined by extreme aridity and topographical isolation. Surveyed in the early 1970s, the map highlights the critical importance of water management in this terrain, featuring the Seyler Reservoir and vital water sources like Palo Alto Spring and Coyote Hole Spring. To the east, the terrain rises sharply toward Palo Alto Hill and the head of Manhattan Gulch, where a network of trails and gravel pits suggests local resource extraction and passage. Much of the western and southern reaches fall within the Toiyabe National Forest, protecting the elevations around Seyler Peak and the drainage of Wood Canyon. This map provides a clear record of the area's infrastructure of jeep trails and remote wells, serving as a valuable document for those studying the land use and water rights of Nye County.
