1957 Map of Como

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Pine Nut Mountains dominate the western portion of this 1957 survey, where the mining settlement of Como is surrounded by a network of prospects and shafts. The landscape is defined by its industrial activity and water management in a high-desert environment, evidenced by the Hercules Mine to the north and the Guild Placer Mines near the eastern edge. Settlement patterns follow the rugged topography, with Sunrise Camp and the JW Ranch providing rare points of habitation between the high peaks and the basins. Significant elevation changes are marked by landmarks like Mount Como and Rawe Peak, while the movement of water is tracked through features like the Adrian Valley Ditch and numerous isolated springs such as Willow Spring. The eastern margin of the sheet captures the edge of the Singatse Range, showing a transition from mining-heavy mountain terrain toward the flatter expanses of Lincoln Flat and Mason Valley.
