1973 Map of Atlanta

About this map

Atlanta Mine and the Hulse Mine anchor this high-desert landscape in Lincoln County, reflecting a history of resource extraction near the Atlanta settlement. The terrain is dominated by the Wilson Creek Range and the high Limestone Hills, with water sources like Silver Park Springs and Brown Water Spring serving as vital landmarks for those navigating the area. The presence of Tailings Ponds and several sites marked Prospect indicate the ongoing industrial footprint during the early 1970s. For those tracing historical land use, the map details an extensive network of Jeep Trails and unnamed trails connecting peaks such as Rosencrans Peak and Atlanta Peak to the flatter reaches of Empy Meadows and Table Mountain. This topography reveals a landscape defined by isolated mining activity and rugged mountain access.
