1987 Map of Wheeler Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Wheeler Peak dominates this landscape, rising as a central landmark within the boundaries of Great Basin National Park and the Humboldt National Forest. The map documents a rugged high-altitude environment defined by sharp peaks like Jeff Davis Peak and glacial features such as Baker Lake and Johnson Lake. This 1987 survey is particularly valuable for its record of mining activity along the steep slopes and canyons, including the Hub Mine, Mount Wheeler Mine, and the St Lawrence Mine. The terrain is deeply dissected by numerous drainages, notably Snake Creek and Baker Creek, which provide the primary paths through the complex topography of the Highland Ridge. The network of 4wd roads and pack trails reveals how these remote mining and park lands were navigated in the late 20th century.
