1957 Map of Battle Mountain

Beyond the town center, a network of family-held properties such as Blossom Ranch, Licking Ranch, and Muleshoe Ranch illustrates the region’s ranching economy. Industrial activity is marked by Oil Wells, a Snowstorm Mine, and the Argenta Siding to the east. Topographically, the map transitions from the fertile river bottoms and sloughs like Pacific Slough to the prominent heights of the Sheep Creek Range and Shoshone Range, where landmarks like Stony Point and Argenta Point oversee the valley floor.
