1987 Map of Tule Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Tule Canyon dominates the high desert terrain where the Nevada-California state line meets the Esmeralda and Inyo County border. This late-1980s topographic record details a landscape defined by its scarce water sources and mineral exploration. Crucial desert landmarks such as Walker Spring, Wild Rose Spring, and Roosevelt Well appear alongside the drainages of Cottonwood Creek and Alum Creek. The presence of the historic Von Schmidt Line provides a tangible look at the surveying legacy used to define the western state boundaries. Evidence of the region’s prospecting history is found in numerous scattered prospects and isolated mines throughout Slate Ridge and the Lida Valley, reflecting the enduring interest in the mineral wealth of the high Great Basin summits like Tule Summit.
