2011 Map of Candelaria

About this map

Candelaria Mountain and the Candelaria Hills dominate this high-desert landscape in Esmeralda County. The industrial heritage of the area is centered on the Candelaria Water Works and Milling Company Mill, a significant landmark connected to the local mining history that defined this region. The map details the intricate road network serving these remote sites, including Candelaria Rd and Pump Hse Rd, which wind through the topography toward Pickhandle Gulch. For genealogists and local historians, the Candelaria Cemetery provides a specific point of interest, anchoring the human history of this mining district amidst the vast terrain. The sparse distribution of named features highlights the specialized, resource-driven nature of settlement in this part of Nevada.
