1987 Map of Buena Vista Hills North

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Buena Vista Hills dominate this high-desert landscape in northern Nevada, where industrial mineral extraction is the defining characteristic of the terrain. The 1983 field data reveals a landscape heavily modified by mining activity, particularly concentrated around the southeastern elevations near Chocolate Butte. Numerous Open Pit Mines, Mine Shafts, and associated Tailings are documented throughout the hills, indicating a period of significant activity in the late 20th century. Drainage patterns are led by Packard Wash to the northwest, while a large Dry Lake in the southwest suggests the arid nature of this basin-and-range environment. The map also records the boundary between Pershing and Churchill Counties, crossing through a topography marked by varied prospects and adits that speak to the region's enduring search for resources.
