1986 Map of Beowawe

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Humboldt River carves through this high-desert Nevada landscape, serving as the primary corridor for movement and settlement near Beowawe. This mid-1980s provisional survey shows a terrain defined by broad valley floors and extractive industry, with the Whirlwind Valley to the north and the expansive Crescent Valley to the south. Small-scale ranching and mineral exploration are evident in features like Horseshoe Ranch and the Red Devil Mine, while a small Cem stands near the riverbank, providing a point of interest for genealogists tracking early residents. The map documents various water sources essential to this arid region, including a Hot Spring, Bob Creek, and an Artesian Well. The presence of the Location Trail and numerous scattered Prospect sites reflects the area's continued history of mining and surveying along the river's northern banks.
