1967 Map of Cobre SE

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Toano Range dominates this portion of the Nevada high desert, illustrating a landscape defined by isolated mineral exploration and the vital passage of the Southern Pacific railroad. Mapping conducted in 1966 reveals a network of high-altitude extraction points, including several Mines and a specifically marked Prospect tucked into the steep ridgelines. These small-scale operations were linked to the lower basins primarily by a network of Jeep Trails, showing how 20th-century prospectors navigated this arid environment. The presence of the railroad line in the northwest corner of the sheet highlights the historical importance of this corridor as a transcontinental link, even as the surrounding terrain remained largely undeveloped and focused on resource extraction.
