USGS Topo · Published 1959About this map
Pioche and the surrounding mining districts anchor this mid-century look at Lincoln County, a landscape defined by sharp mountain ranges and vast desert basins. The industrial footprint of the era is evident at the Bristol Silver Mine and Black Metal Mine, while the Union Pacific railroad cuts through the terrain to serve Caliente and Panaca. To the west, the Las Vegas Bombing and Gunnery Range occupies a massive portion of the basin floor near Groom Lake, marking the Cold War military presence in the region.
