1942 Map of Tolicha Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

Oasis Valley serves as the focal point for settlement in this high-desert region during the early 1940s. The Amargosa River draws together a collection of remote outposts, including Springdale, Indian Ranch, and the Pettus Ranch, illustrating the sparse but vital ranching and watering network of Nye County. This survey, compiled from 1905 data and updated with 1941 aerial photography, documents the landscape just as the Tonopah Bombing and Gunnery Range Military Reservation established a massive military presence to the east. The terrain is defined by prominent heights like Stonewall Mountain and Tolicha Peak, while the southwestern corner touches the boundary of Death Valley National Monument. Isolated water sources such as Monte Cristo Springs and Pillar Spring remain critical landmarks for navigation across Sarcobatus Flat and the vast Pahute Mesa.
