1971 Map of The Hogback

About this map

Keg Mountain rises in the northern reaches of this 1970s survey, overlooking a landscape defined by sharp topographical changes and water management in a dry basin. The terrain transitions from the heights of the mountain down toward Crater Bench, showing the intricate contour work required to map the western desert's volcanic and sedimentary formations. Evidence of human activity is sparse but purposeful, centered on water access points such as the Hogback Reservoir and a lone Well located in the central flats.
