1987 Map of Dayton
USGS Topo · Published 1988About this map
The Carson River flows past the historic settlement of Dayton, revealing a landscape heavily shaped by mining and water management in the 1980s. This survey captures the transition from the Carson Plains to the high elevations of the Pine Nut Mountains, with the Dayton Town Ditch and numerous pipelines marking the infrastructure of the desert. The intensity of mineral exploration is evident in the cluster of labels for Prospect and Prospects throughout Gold Canyon and Daney Canyon, alongside substantial Tailings and the Dixon Mine.
