1943 Map of Antler Peak

About this map

The mining landscape of the Battle Mountain range is heavily detailed in this 1940 survey, which captures the industrial activity of Lander and Humboldt counties during the early 1940s. High-elevation operations like the Lucky Strike Mine and Copper Queen Mine punctuate the ridges near Antler Peak, while the southeastern slopes around Galena Canyon reveal a dense concentration of claims including the Butte Mine and the Nevada Mine. Settlement is primarily industrial or agricultural, ranging from the remote Oyarbide Ranch and Healy Cabins to organized worker outposts such as Buckingham Camp and the Copper Canyon Placer Camp. Along the northern edge, the transportation corridor of the Southern Pacific railroad and the Victory Highway follows the valley near the Reese River, connecting the town of Mote to the broader regional network of the Great Basin.
