1967 Map of Basalt

About this map

Basalt stands as a focal point in this high-desert mining landscape of Mineral County, Nevada, as it appeared in the late 1960s. The settlement is positioned near a Landing Strip and serves as a junction where the industrial past meets the mid-century transportation network. The dominant physical legacy is the Old Railroad Grade, which carves a long path through the Candelaria Hills, signaling the area's historical reliance on rail for mineral extraction. Resource extraction remains a primary theme across the terrain, evidenced by the Eastside Mine, Noguez Mine, and scattered operations including a Mine Dump and several gravel pits. These features, along with isolated infrastructure like a Well and various water tanks, illustrate the sparse but deliberate development of a landscape shaped entirely by its geological wealth and the logistics required to move it.
