1985 Map of Crippen Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Shoshone Range rises sharply above the Reese River Valley in this mid-1980s provisional study, revealing a landscape defined by its mining heritage. The map documents extensive underground workings, including the Betty O' Neal Mine, several named Tunnels, and a series of Mineshaft and Prospects scattered across the eastern slopes. A notable historical feature is the Old Railroad Grade running through the northern valley, marking the path of former transportation infrastructure that once served the remote district of Lewis. High-altitude terrain is anchored by Lewis Peak, which overlooks a rugged network of drainage systems such as Whisky Canyon, Rocky Canyon, and Crippen Canyon. The drainage of Trout Creek and Hancock Canyon provide geographical context to the southern portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the complex relationship between mining claims and natural water sources in this arid environment.
