1971 Map of Belmont East

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Belmont stands as a quiet reminder of Nye County's mining history in the early 1970s, positioned on the eastern edge of the Toiyabe National Forest. The landscape is heavily marked by former silver-mining operations, featuring the Belmont Shaft, Highbridge Shaft, and several remnant structures such as the Combination Mill (Ruins) and Highbridge Mill (Ruins). These industrial remains are clustered near Cemetery Hill, overlooking the broad expanse of Monitor Valley. An Aqueduct and various Jeep Trails suggest the logistical efforts required to sustain operations in this high-altitude environment. Further south, the terrain transitions into the distinctively named Horse Heaven and the Mc Kinney Mountains, where White Rock Canyon cuts through the ridges. The presence of Combination Spring highlights the critical importance of water sources in supporting both the mining camps and the nearby Prospect sites.
