1973 Map of Snowstorm Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Snowstorm Mountains dominate this 1970s landscape in Elko County, Nevada, providing a high-elevation environment defined by a complex network of springs and drainage creeks. From the heights of Snowstorm Mountain and the Crows Nest, water flows through numerous seasonal and perennial courses including Kelly Creek, Winters Creek, and Snowstorm Creek. The presence of scattered Prospect labels and Prospects throughout the range suggests an era of mineral exploration across the rugged slopes. Lowland features like Mud Lake and the confluence near the South Fork Little Humboldt River anchor the southern reaches of the map, while several Corral sites and numerous Trail routes indicate the continued use of this terrain for ranching and livestock movement. The lack of primary roads emphasizes the area's isolation, with travel limited to a system of Jeep Trails connecting the remote ridges.
