2012 Map of Austin

About this map

Austin serves as the focal point of this high-desert landscape, tucked among the steep canyons and peaks of the Toiyabe Range. The town's historical foundations in silver mining are evidenced by the presence of industrial landmarks like the Duff and Company Mill and Ralstons Mill. Higher on the slopes, the distinctive Stokes Castle stands above Cedar Ravine, while the Clifton Tunnel and Austin Post Office mark the civic and infrastructure center of the community. Beyond the settlement, the terrain transitions into a system of named basins and canyons, including Marshall Basin and Johnson Canyon. Cattle ranching and water management define the outlying areas, with the Johnson Ranch and Arena Ranch situated along seasonal drainages like Bade Creek and Blackbird Creek. This 2012 survey captures the enduring layout of one of Nevada's most storied mining districts in its modern context.
