1970 Map of Soldier Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Fort Halleck Cem and the nearby Fort Halleck Historical Marker anchor this 1970s look at the high desert terrain of Elko County. The map details the eastern edge of the Old Military Reservation Boundary, tracing the historical footprint of the fort near the confluence of Soldier Creek and Wilson Creek. The landscape transitions from the flatlands near the Landing Strip into the steep, complex drainages of the Humboldt National Forest. High peaks including Soldier Peak and Secret Peak tower over a network of routes such as the Soldier Trail and various unnamed pack trails. The presence of numerous named water sources like Emigrant Spring, Moopie Spring, and Gheen Spring illustrates the critical role of reliable water in this part of the Ruby Mountains, while features like Bills Fishpond and several borrow pits show local human modification of the natural environment.
