1993 Map of Tabbys Peak

About this map

Tabbys Peak serves as the focal point of this arid landscape, anchoring the eastern slopes of the Cedar Mountains as they descend into the broad expanse of Skull Valley. The terrain is defined by a series of high ridges and narrow drainages like Wildcat Canyon, which opens into the low-lying Wildcat Basin. This 1993 edition, compiled from earlier 1950s aerial photography and updated in the late 1980s, reveals a remote environment where water sources such as Tabbys Spring and Cochran Spring were vital for the survival of ranching or transit efforts in the desert. An Old Railroad Grade cuts through the valley floor to the east, marking the legacy of regional industrial transport. High mountain transitions are recorded at Rydalch Pass and Six Horse Pass, while isolated signs of mineral exploration appear at a solitary Prospect.
