1954 Map of Bare Mtn

About this map

Bare Mountain dominates this Nevada landscape, standing as a prominent geological barrier between the Oasis Valley to the west and the volcanic expanses of Crater Flat to the east. The 1950s era of this survey shows the fading footprint of early 20th-century industry, most notably the path of the Tidewater and Tonopah Railroad (Dismantled) cutting through the Amargosa Narrows. Mining activity is heavily concentrated along the western flanks of the range, including the Diamond Queen Mine, Gold Ace Mines, and Fluorspar Mine.
