1960 Map of Wildcat Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Toquima Cave and the high elevations of the Toiyabe Range define this mid-century survey of the Nevada interior. The landscape transitions from the broad Big Smoky Valley in the west to the deeply incised drainages of the Toiyabe National Forest. Human presence is marked by isolated outposts like Indian Ranch and the Bronco Mine, alongside a network of seasonal water sources such as Petes Spring and Turquoise Spring. The map documents a rugged transit network of primitive routes, including the Jeep Henry Meyer Trail and the passage through Petes Summit. This terrain is characterized by a high density of named canyons, including Stoneberger Canyon, North Fork Canyon, and South Fork Canyon, which reveal the complex drainage patterns feeding into the valley floor. Researchers will find numerous prospects and springs that reflect the region's mining and ranching history during the postwar era.
