1972 Map of White Horse Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Goshute Mountains topography dominates this 1970s survey of Elko County, Nevada, defined by the high point at Sugar Loaf Peak and the critical transit routes of White Horse Pass and Little White Horse Pass. The landscape illustrates a classic Great Basin environment where steep ridges descend into the broad expanse of White Horse Flat. Human activity is sparse but telling, marked by a Corral and several Prospects, indicating the region's historical reliance on livestock ranching and exploratory mining. To the east, the Ferber Hills and the drainage of Ferber Wash frame the basin, showing the network of jeep trails that connected these isolated outposts during the early 1970s.
