Mt. Wheeler, Spring Mountains, Nevada

Mt. Wheeler, Spring Mountains, Nevada
Looking south. Top photo is from the Chester R. Longwell collection (#311-0116) at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and was taken ca. 1925. The lower photo is by me, 10 June 2011.
Wheeler Pass is the prominent notch to the left of Mt. Wheeler, the peak in the middle. This is only a mile or so beyond Indian Springs, to the north on US-95, but here there are very few changes. The only new cultural feature is the barbed-wire fence! The exact position of the original photo is probably covered by the modern highway.

Note that this is NOT the Mt. Wheeler in Great Basin National Park, although it's named after the same explorer.
