1982 Map of Sombrero Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Sombrero Peak serves as a prominent landmark in this desert landscape of Humboldt County, marking the southern edge of the Slumbering Hills. The map details a region defined by arid basins and isolated peaks, where water sources like Crescent Well, Gabica Well, and Corbeal Well were vital to the livestock operations and mining ventures of the era. To the north, the Pickhandle Mine indicates the ongoing search for mineral wealth that drove much of the interior West's development. Large tracts of Sand Dunes dominate the southwestern portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the shifting, wind-carved terrain of the Nevada desert. Topographic variations between Gabica Butte and Corbeal Butte provide a clear view of the complex geomorphology that characterizes this remote part of the Great Basin.
