USGS Topo · Published 1938

About this map

Cortez Mine and the surrounding mining claims on the slopes of Mt Tenabo dominate this 1938 survey of the Lander and Eureka county line. The landscape is defined by the extraction of silver and turquoise, with significant operations at the Turquoise Mine and Mill Canyon Mine. Isolated mountain life is evidenced by the Mill Canyon Sch and the Rock House landmarks, while the valley floor shows a network of remote outposts like Francis Cabin and the Caetano Ranch.
