1989 Map of Wildcat Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Big Smoky Valley dominates the western portion of this landscape, where the alluvial fans meet the steep rise of the Toquima Range. This late 1980s landscape is defined by its transition from the valley floor to the high elevations of the Toiyabe National Forest. Evidence of local mineral exploration and industry is visible near the valley edge, specifically marked by tailings and a landing strip, indicating the logistical infrastructure required for remote operations. Higher in the canyons, multiple prospects are noted, while named water sources like Iron Spring and Jeans Spring provide critical points of interest in this arid environment. The map details the complex drainage patterns of Wildcat Canyon and West Northumberland Canyon, as well as the distinctive Hoodoo formation, offering a clear record of the area's geological and industrial character during this period of field survey.
