1982 Map of Bull Run Mts

About this map

Tuscarora and the northern reaches of Elko County are defined by a high-desert landscape of extensive mining operations and remote water management. In the early 1980s, the region's industrial character was centered around the Bull Run Mountains and the Humboldt National Forest, where a dense cluster of historical mining sites includes the Edgemont Mine, Bull Run Mine, and Riddle Mine. These operations sit in contrast to the northern Duck Valley Indian Reservation, which borders the Idaho state line and the settlement of Owyhee.
