1987 Map of Como

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Pine Nut Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Lyon County, revealing an intensive history of resource extraction during the late twentieth century. The mining camp of Como serves as a central point of interest, surrounded by a dense network of industrial markers including a Hercules Mine, several labeled mine shafts, and an expansive strip mine near the western slopes. These features, along with various adits, point to the enduring search for precious metals in this range. Water sources, vital for both mining operations and survival in this arid environment, are specifically identified at Barton Springs and Stone Spring. The topography is defined by high points like Rawe Peak and Lyon Peak, which overlook a series of deep drainages such as Bull Canyon and Mill Canyon, illustrating the challenging environment faced by those working these claims.
