About this map

Marys Mountain and the southern reaches of the Pinon Range dominate this Nevada landscape during the mid-1980s. The topography is defined by the winding course of the Humboldt River, which cuts through the eastern portion of the map, creating a fertile corridor for the settlement at Tyrol. Water remains a central theme in this high-desert environment, evidenced by numerous named springs such as Warm Spring and Cherry Spr, alongside various stock tanks and flumes.

Industrial activity and infrastructure are woven into the terrain, showing a network of Prospects and Gravel Pits concentrated near the Carlin corporate boundary. A major Pipeline traverses the hillsides, reflecting the region's role in resource transportation. The interplay between the natural drainages of Marys Creek and Buck Rake Jack Canyon highlights a landscape managed for both cattle ranching and mineral exploration at the border of Eureka and Elko counties.
