1979 Map of Toiyabe Peak

About this map

Toiyabe Peak dominates this high-altitude landscape in the late 1970s, where the steep canyons of the Toiyabe Range drop toward the Great Basin. This area within the Toiyabe National Forest preserves a history of mining and seasonal grazing, evidenced by high-mountain meadows like Mohawk Pasture and Werdenhoff Pasture. The map highlights the intersection of industrial pursuit and the natural environment, marking specific extraction points such as the Hamlin Mine and the Murphy Mine.
