1917 Map of Bristol Range

USGS Topo · Published 1917

About this map

The Bristol Range and the neighboring Ely Range dominate this Lincoln County landscape during a period of significant mining activity. Hard-rock operations like the Jackrabbit Mine, Bristol Mines, and Lucky Star Mine are connected to the broader world by the Pioche Pacific (Narrow Gage) railroad, which winds through the mountain passes. The map reveals the critical importance of water in this arid environment, documenting a network of isolated springs and wells such as Wildhorse Bill Spring, Fifteenmile Well, and Bristol Well that supported both industrial operations and the small settlements at Jackrabbit and Stonehouse. The terrain transitions from the high peaks of Fairview Pk down to the broad, flat expanse of Lake Valley and the seasonal drainage of Patterson Wash, illustrating the logistical challenges faced by early 20th-century miners and freighters traveling the Sunnyside Road and Pioche Road.
