1967 Map of Columbus

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Columbus sits at the edge of the vast Columbus Salt Marsh (Alkali Flat) on this 1960s-era topography, where the high desert terrain transitions from the Candelaria Hills to the Volcanic Hills. The landscape is defined by its arid geography, featuring extensive sand dunes and the seasonal drainage of Pinchot Creek. The map documents a period of resource exploration and mining activity, indicated by several prospects, a mine in the south, and a gravel pit along the main transit corridor. The presence of a well in the desert wash highlights the critical importance of water access in this high-elevation basin. Positioned along the Mineral Co / Esmeralda Co line, the sheet offers a clear look at the geological and industrial character of this remote section of the Great Basin.
