1964 Map of Tohakum Peak NE

About this map

Winnemucca Lake dominates this mid-1960s survey, marking a basin between the Nightingale Mountains and the boundary with the Pyramid Lake Indian Reservation. The map captures a landscape defined by seasonal water and mining interests, where an indefinite boundary separates Washoe and Pershing counties across the dry lake bed. Significant landmarks include the prominent Needle Rock on the western shore and Stonehouse Canyon to the northeast. Small-scale resource extraction is evident through scattered labels for a Gravel Pit and isolated Prospect locations in the foothills. Reliable water sources were clearly vital for navigation or livestock in this environment, as indicated by the presence of Goose Spring near the center of the sheet. Numerous Jeep Trails provide the only access through the alluvial fans and high ridges.
