About this map

Battle Mountain dominates the central landscape of this Nevada survey, a region deeply defined by its mid-20th-century extraction economy. The small settlement of Galena is situated near the Cem, serving as a focal point for the surrounding mining activity. Industrial operations are widespread, including the Copper Canyon Mine, Independence Mine, and the White and Shiloh Mine, which indicate a period of intense geological exploration and resource recovery.

Water management in this arid terrain is evidenced by Willow Creek Reservoir and the seasonal flows of Mill Creek and Cottonwood Creek. The map documents a network of extraction infrastructure from the Buffalo Valley Mine to the Placer Mine, alongside numerous mineshaft locations and mine tunnels. Notable topographical landmarks such as Antler Peak and Wild Horse Basin provide a natural frame for the extensive prospects and mining works that characterize this part of Lander County.
