1964 Map of Tohakum Peak NW

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Tohakum Peak stands as the central landmark in this 1960s study of the Lake Range within the Pyramid Lake Indian Reservation. The terrain is characterized by a series of deep canyons, including San Emidio Canyon, Stag Canyon, and the curiously named Hells Kitchen. Life in this arid landscape is oriented around vital water sources, as evidenced by the high concentration of named desert springs. Remote pack trails connect points like Moses Rock Spring and Potato Patch Spring, while a lone Prospect near Groundhog Canyon hints at the mineral exploration common in this part of Nevada. The transition between the high peaks and the basin floor is punctuated by features like Nugent Hole, providing a detailed look at the geography of the northern Great Basin before modern development.
