1954 Map of Bare Mtn

About this map

Beatty and the mining camp of Carrara anchor this desert landscape during a period of industrial transition in Nye County. The map documents the remnants of early 20th-century commerce, most notably the Tonopah and Tidewater Railroad (Dismantled) which parallels the Amargosa River. The eastern reaches are defined by the Tonopah Bombing and Gunnery Range Military Reservation Boundary, marking the intersection of traditional mining interests and mid-century military expansion. Prospectors and local historians can trace the numerous workings scattered through Bare Mountain, including the Telluride Mine (Aband), Silicon Mine, and Diamond Queen Mine. The topography is a complex network of desert drainages like Tarantula Canyon and Fluorspar Canyon, while volcanic features such as Red Cone and Black Cone rise from the floor of Crater Flat, providing a detailed record of the region's geological and extractive history.
