1990 Map of Bernice Canyon
USGS Topo · Published 1990About this map
Clan Alpine Mountains dominate the eastern reaches of this Churchill County landscape, rising sharply above the flat expanse of Dixie Valley. This region is defined by its deep mining history, with several named operations such as the King Solomon Mine and the Antimony King Mine situated along the steep slopes of Bernice Canyon. The drainages of Shoshone Creek and Bernice Creek carve through the arid terrain, leading toward several springs that provided essential water sources for the remote mining claims of the era. The mapping of Hove Canyon and Spring Canyon reveals a complex network of geological features and prospecting sites, including the U-Bet Mine and Williams Mine, which illustrate the intensity of mineral exploration in the Great Basin during the mid-to-late 20th century.
