1961 Map of Trident Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Trident Peak and the Black Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape along the border of Nevada and Oregon. The area is defined by a ranching and mining economy, where water sources like Lovely Valley Spring and Baxter Springs were critical for survival. Numerous remnant structures indicate a history of isolated homesteading and prospecting, including the Ayers Cabin (Ruins) and Jack Spade Cabin (Ruins), alongside more established sites like the Kings River Ranch. Small-scale mining operations are scattered through the peaks, evidenced by the Lucky Strike Mine and Hansen Mine. A network of jeep trails connects these remote outposts across the Kings River Valley, tracing a path between landmarks like House Creek Butte and Shyster Butte.
