1971 Map of Silver King Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Schell Creek Range dominates this 1970s landscape, marking a high-elevation interior in the Great Basin. The map details the rugged verticality of the terrain, centered around the prominent Silver King Mountain and the nearby Burnt Peak. This area is characterized by its isolation and limited water resources, as evidenced by the Burnt Peak Well (Dry) and the sparse network of Jeep Trails and Trails that negotiate the slopes. For the researcher, the presence of a Prospect near the peaks suggests the era's localized mineral exploration within these remote ranges. The boundary between Nye and Lincoln Counties cuts through the western portion of the sheet, providing a precise reference for those studying historical regional borders or land use in this part of Nevada.
