1968 Map of Bellehelen

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Ruins Bellehelen and the nearby Bellehelen Ranch serve as central landmarks in this high-desert mining landscape, where early Nevada industry left its mark across the Kawich Range. This 1968 survey was produced in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission, reflecting the strategic importance of the region during the late sixties. The map traces a complex network of canyons, including Bellehelen Canyon and Mikes Canyon, punctuated by critical water sources like Jackson Falls Spring and Tube Spring. Mining activity is evident through the distribution of claims such as the Ajax Mine and Ben Hur Mine. To the west, the flat expanse of Stone Cabin Valley contrasts with the peaks of the Kawich mountains, while the southern reaches contain the seasonal Bellehelen Lake No 1 and Bellehelen Lake No 2, offering a detailed look at the hydrology and prospecting history of Nye County.
