1944 Map of Cortez

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

Cortez Mountains dominate this 1930s landscape, illustrating the high-desert mining economy of central Nevada. The map centers on the small settlement of Cortez, situated at the base of Mt Tenabo, where the Cortez Mine and Mill Canyon Mines mark the industrial activity of the period. This era of extraction is further evidenced by the Turquoise Mine to the west, while the presence of the Mill Canyon Sch suggests a community established enough to support local education for mining and ranching families.
