1967 Map of Basalt

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

Basalt anchors this high-desert landscape in Mineral County, Nevada, serving as a focal point for local mining and transportation history. The area is defined by the remnants of industrial infrastructure, most notably the prominent Old Railroad Grade and Old RR Grade that snake through the valley. These corridors suggest a period of heavy hauling from various resource extraction sites including the Eastside Mine and Nosser Mine. The rugged Candelaria Hills dominate the eastern edge of the quadrangle, while the presence of a Landing Strip and multiple Gravel Pits indicate mid-century utility and regional access. Small but vital water sources, such as the Water Tank and several Wells, are carefully noted, highlighting the essential logistics required for survival and industry in this arid Basin and Range environment.
