1956 Map of Aurora

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Aurora's legacy as a major mid-19th-century mining center is clearly visible in this mid-1950s survey of the Nevada-California borderlands. While labeled as historic ruins, the settlement remains a focal point alongside Del Monte and the Cresco Mine, marking a landscape defined by gold and silver extraction. The presence of a Cem and various industrial features like the Tailings Pond near Gregory Flats provides a tangible look at the scale of human activity that once occurred within the high desert basin.
