1967 Map of Candelaria

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Candelaria and Metallic City anchor this 1967 study of a high-desert mining district straddling the Mineral and Esmeralda County line. The landscape is defined by its deep silver and gold heritage, with a dense concentration of shafts and workings such as the Northern Belle Mine, Argentum Mine, and Columbus Mine clustered around Pickhandle Gulch. The remnants of the Old Railroad Grade and various Jeep Trails snake through the Candelaria Hills, tracing the infrastructure required to service these remote operations. Family historians will find the Candelaria Cemetery noted on the slopes of Candelaria Mountain, while mineral exploration enthusiasts can trace the locations of the Mt Diablo Mine and Black Metallic Mine. The mapping includes 1982 revisions, showing contemporary features like a Radio Tower and Pipeline alongside the historic mining sites.
