2015 Map of Cordero Mine

About this map

The Cordero Mine dominates this high-desert landscape on the border of Nevada and Oregon, marking a significant site of extraction in Humboldt County. Settled within the Great Basin, the industrial footprint of Cordero is situated south of the state line, where the high-altitude terrain is carved by Long Canyon and McConnell Canyon. The map records the hydraulic patterns of the region, specifically where the McDermitt Cr and Washburn Cr descend toward the valley floor. Transportation through this isolated mining district is anchored by the Jordan Meadow Rd and the Cordero Hwy, providing the primary access to the remote worksites. To the southeast, the Quinn River cuts across the corner of the quadrangle, serving as a critical water source in an otherwise arid environment defined by township and range boundaries.
