1964 Map of Tohakum Peak SE

About this map

The arid landscape of the Nightingale Mountains meets the expansive basin of Winnemucca Lake in this mid-1960s topographic record. This area of Nevada is defined by significant elevation changes, ranging from the flat lakebed to high peaks connected by a network of rudimentary transportation routes including a Jeep Trail and Pack Trail. Industrial activity is localized at the MGL Mines, where the map records a high-elevation operation with several springs nearby to support the site. The western portion of the map is dominated by the Pyramid Lake Indian Reservation boundary, which follows the lake's eastern shore. A notable geographic feature is the Indefinite Boundary running through the center of the dry lake bed, marking the transition between Washoe and Pershing counties across the alkaline flats.
