1915 Map of Bristol Range

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Bristol Mines and the Jackrabbit Mine anchor the industrial landscape of the Bristol Range during this 1915 survey of Lincoln County. The map details a high-desert mining economy dependent on a network of remote water sources such as Fifteenmile Well, Bailey Spring, and the dry station at Twentyone Mile Well. Transportation in the region was defined by the Pioche and Pacific Narrow Gage Road, which navigated the difficult terrain between Bristol Pass and the eastern flats of Patterson Wash. Sparse settlements like Bristol Well and Stonehouse provided essential hubs for prospectors and teamsters traveling the Sunnyside Road or the Cherry Creek and Pioche Road. From the heights of Fairview Pk to the low expanse of Dry Lake Valley, the sheet captures the infrastructure of a Great Basin mining district before the era of modern highways.
