1958 Map of Soldier Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

White Mts and the high desert basins of the Fish Lake Valley and Eureka Valley dominate this late 1950s survey of the California-Nevada border. The landscape is defined by its isolation and specialized land use, ranging from the academic outpost of Deep Springs Jr College to the remnants of earlier mining and settlement efforts. Traces of indigenous history appear near the White Mts where petroglyphs are recorded, while the industrial character of the era is marked by several mineral claims, including the Sierra Talc Mine, Buck Mine, and Victor Cons Mine. The survey precisely follows the Von Schmidt Line, illustrating the historical boundary between the two states as it cuts through the Sylvania Mts. Notable ruins like White Mtn City and small settlements such as Oasis provide key data points for those studying the progression of Great Basin settlement and desert agriculture.
