1979 Map of Copper Mtn.

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Nevada Rand Mine and the Golden Pen Mine occupy the eastern slopes of the Gabbs Valley Range, highlighting the mineral extraction efforts in this part of Mineral County during the late 1970s. The landscape is defined by the high prominence of Copper Mtn and the varied terrain of the Koegel Hills and Gillis Range. These ridges are cut by drainage systems like Nugent Wash, which flows toward the southern expanse of Buckley Flat. The northern boundary of the map coincides with the Walker River Indian Reservation, showing where tribal lands meet the public domain. Transportation throughout this arid environment is limited to a network of Jeep Trails, which provide access to several scattered Prospect sites, illustrating the persistent search for ore across these Nevada hillsides.
