1972 Map of Broken Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Broken Hills remains as a focal point of former activity on this high-desert Nevada landscape, where the mining industry once left its mark across the Broken Hills range. Grounded in the 1970s, the map illustrates a network of resource extraction and water management, featuring the Broken Hills Mine and the Kaiser Mine tucked into the eastern slopes of the Monte Cristo Mountains. An Aqueduct and multiple wells, including Kaiser Well and Kaiser Well No 2, highlight the critical infrastructure required to support operations in this arid environment near the Gabbs Valley. The terrain is marked by isolated Prospects and a solitary Grave, offering researchers a look at the sparse but persistent human presence in a region defined by its geology. The intersection of three counties—Churchill, Mineral, and Nye—runs through these flats, anchored by landforms like Bell Flat and the peak of Mt Anna.
