1987 Map of Sheep Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Sheep Range elevations dominate this high-desert landscape in the late 1980s, revealing a terrain defined by steep contours and isolated water sources. As part of the Desert National Wildlife Range, the map illustrates a network of drainage features such as Deadman Canyon and Wagon Canyon that cut through the limestone ridges. The presence of the Yucca Forest in the southeastern quadrant indicates a distinct ecological zone within these arid mountains, while the namesake Sheep Peak stands as a primary landmark. Transport through this environment is limited to the Mormon Well Road and various routes like the Pack Trail, reflecting the historic and ongoing difficulty of navigating the region. Other notable topographic features include Long Valley and the distinctive Peek-a-boo Canyon, providing specific points of reference for those studying the land use and natural history of Clark County.
