1972 Map of Utah Peak

About this map

Ferber Hills dominate this high-desert landscape straddling the Nevada-Utah border during the early 1970s. The terrain is defined by dry drainages and geological prominence, notably Utah Peak and Rocky Point. Human activity in this arid environment is recorded through a network of Jeep Trails and scattered resource extraction sites, including a Gravel Pit and several Prospects. The presence of Well No 1 (Oil) and Jerry Well highlights the region's history with energy exploration and water management for livestock, supported by a localized Corral. Natural features such as several identified Caves and Owl Hill punctuate the ridges, while seasonal water management is evident at Ferber Res No 1 along the Ferber Wash. This survey captures the remote intersection of Elko County and Tooele County at a time when the land was primarily used for mineral prospecting and open-range ranching.
