1938 Map of Cortez

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Cortez Mine and the adjacent settlement of Cortez anchor the eastern slopes of the Cortez Mountains, revealing a landscape defined by Great Basin mining and ranching interests in the late 1930s. The map traces the divide between Crescent Valley and Grass Valley, where high-altitude resource extraction meets the valley floor's pastoral operations. Evidence of a localized community is found at the Mill Canyon Sch, serving the families tied to the nearby Mill Canyon Mine and Turquoise Mine.
