1965 Map of Sixmile Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Sixmile Hill dominates the southern landscape of this mid-1960s survey, marking a prominent high point along the border of Elko and Lander counties. The terrain transitions from these elevated peaks down into the broad expanse of Squaw Valley to the north, defined by a complex network of drainage systems. Several vital spring locations are noted across the slopes, indicating the critical nature of water sources in this arid Nevada interior. The presence of Sixmile Creek and various unimproved trails suggests a landscape primarily used for rangeland or mineral exploration during this era. This topographic record provides a clear view of the high-desert geography before significant modern infrastructure, showing the natural contours of landmarks like Squaw and the drainage patterns that feed into the valley floor.
