1948 Map of Wheeler Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Humboldt National Forest dominates the eastern half of this 1948 survey, where the high peaks of the Snake Range tower over the transition to the Snake Valley. The map documents a rugged landscape defined by its mining and ranching economy, featuring an array of operations like the Tungsten Queen Mine, Everett Mines, and the St Lawrence Mine. Settlement is sparse but concentrated along the mountain base, where numerous family-owned properties such as Robinson Ranch, Floyd Smith Ranch, and Kirkeby Ranch relied on spring-fed water systems. Local civic infrastructure is captured through the Shoshone PO and Consolidated Sch No 2, while specialized industry is represented by a Cement Pipe Factory near the Artesian Wells in the north.
