1917 Map of Bristol Range

USGS Topo · Published 1917

About this map

Mining operations and narrow-gauge rail transport define this high-altitude landscape in the Lincoln County backcountry. The map centers on the Bristol Range, where the Bristol Mines and Lucky Star Mine sit along the steep slopes. Of particular note to industrial historians is the Piocne Pacific Narrow Gage railroad, which skirts the eastern base of the mountains to serve the settlement of Jackrabbit. An Aerial Tram connects the high-elevation Jackrabbit Mine to the lower valley floor, illustrating the mechanical ingenuity required to extract silver and lead from these desert peaks.
