1938 Map of Cortez

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Mt Tenabo dominates the center of this high-desert landscape, where the Cortez Mountains meet the sweeping flats of Crescent Valley and Grass Valley. This survey, conducted in the late 1930s, documents the industrial footprint of the Cortez Mine and the Mill Canyon Mins, alongside the small settlement at Cortez. The mapping of the Mill Canyon Sch and remote outposts like Francis Cabin provides a clear look at the dispersed infrastructure required for mining and ranching in the Great Basin.
