1985 Map of Argenta

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Argenta and its namesake siding sit at the heart of this Nevada landscape, where the Humboldt River carves through a wide valley between the Sheep Creek Range and the Shoshone Range. This mid-1980s document illustrates a high-desert environment defined by mining and ranching, with the Southern Pacific railroad line following the river's path. Numerous mining operations are documented in the southern hills, including the Shelton Mine, Argenta Mine, and several unnamed Prospects, indicating the intensive mineral exploration of the era. The presence of Blue Slough and the Gaging Station near Mosel reflects the critical importance of water management in Boulder Valley. Smaller outposts like Kampos and the T-S Ranch appear alongside the intricate topography of the Argenta Rim, providing a detailed record of the region's sparse but deliberate settlement patterns.
