1987 Map of Cornish Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The Stillwater Range dominates the eastern landscape of this Nevada survey, where the high desert terrain transitions into steep, rugged peaks. Historical mining activity is concentrated in the mountainous corridors, specifically near New York Canyon and Cornish Canyon. Notable sites for local history and mineral research include the Green Gold Mine and several other unnamed Mine and Mine Shaft locations. To the west, the arid basins of Buena Vista Valley and Antelope Valley reveal a very different character, marked by drainage patterns leading toward the Alkali Flat. Tracing through the northwestern corner, the historic Emigrant Trail provides a physical connection to the era of westward expansion, winding past distinctive landmarks like Chocolate Butte. The boundary between Pershing Co and Churchill Co bisects the southern reaches of the quadrangle near Cornish Peak.
