1957 Map of Currant Mtn

About this map

Angleworm Ranch sits at the base of the mountain ranges in this mid-century survey of the Nevada interior. The landscape is defined by its drainage and extraction history, with Blackrock Canyon carving through the northern high ground. The map records several small-scale mining efforts, marked simply as Prospect or Prospects, indicating the persistent search for mineral wealth across the high desert terrain. This document reflects a period when the Bureau of Mines and Geology was actively documenting the State of Nevada's resource potential, showing the intersection of isolated ranching outposts and the speculative mining ventures that characterized the region's sparse settlement patterns.
