1987 Map of Toulon Peak

About this map

Toulon sits at the base of the Trinity Range, serving as a vital waypoint where the Southern Pacific railroad meets the edge of the Humboldt Sink. This landscape is defined by the stark contrast between the high peaks of Toulon Peak and the low-lying wetlands of Humboldt Lake, which is protected as a Wildlife State and Lake Management Area. The map reveals a history of movement and extraction, tracing the historic Emigrant Trail across the valley floor while documenting mining efforts in the mountains.
