2021 Map of Candelaria

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Candelaria Hills dominate this high-desert landscape on the border of Mineral and Esmeralda counties. This modern topographic survey highlights a region historically defined by its mineral wealth and rugged topography. Local history is anchored by the Candelaria Cem, situated near the head of Pickhandle Gulch, which served the once-booming mining camps of the district. The terrain rises sharply toward Candelaria Mtn in the south, while Candelaria Rd provides the primary access route across the dry basins and alluvial fans that characterize this part of the Great Basin. The map also records the path of Highway 95 as it skirts the northeastern edge of the hills, marking the intersection of modern transportation with the remnants of Nevada's 19th-century silver heritage.
