1987 Map of Coal Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Mining activity and rugged topography define this section of the Humboldt Range in Pershing County, Nevada. The map documents an extensive history of resource extraction, illustrated by numerous Prospects and specific workings like the Prospect Mine Shaft and several Adits. The presence of a Gypsum deposit further highlights the mineral variety found within the ridges. Water sources are scarce in this arid environment, making landmarks such as Muttlebury Spring and Muttlebury Well critical points for early explorers and prospectors. The landscape is carved by significant drainages, including Coal Canyon and Muttlebury Canyon, which channel toward Packard Wash. This provisional survey reflects the area's transition between the West Humboldt Range and the high desert basins, providing a detailed record of the mining sites that once drew people to these remote canyons.
