1985 Map of Two Tips

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Historical transit corridors through the Great Basin dominate this 1985 survey, showing the overlap of 19th-century migration routes with modern infrastructure. The California Trail and Old Emigrant Road are clearly marked as they traverse the arid Fortymile Desert, a notoriously difficult stretch for pioneers. These historical paths skirt the southeastern edge of the Truckee Range and the high point of Two Tips, leading toward the Fernley Sink. The landscape is a study in land management and utility, featuring the eastern boundary of the Pyramid Lake Indian Reservation alongside the Fernley Wildlife Management Area. Evidence of modern energy and resource extraction appears through a prominent transmission line with a Steel Tower and local industrial sites like a Gravel Pit, contrasting with the primitive terrain of Little Valley and The Gooseneck.
