Skull Meadow is located at 7737 feet at 40° 48' 13.64" N, 119° 24' 58.68" [1] in the Granite Range.
Skull Meadow might be named for the 1934 discovery of the skeleton of a man and a horse by Jack Heward. A muzzle-loading rifle suggests that deaths could have occurred during emigrant days.[2][3]
There is a distant chance that this is the body of Jerry Marsh, who was traveling from Alturas to Winnemucca in 1910. Dayton Hyde writes that many years later, the bones of a man and a horse were found under a pile of rock.[4]
