1989 Map of Dry Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

The Delano Mountains define this high-altitude mining landscape in northeast Elko County, where the late 1980s topography reveals a complex network of resource extraction. Concentrated primarily in the southern reach of Dry Canyon, the district is anchored by the Delano Mines and the Cleveland Mine, surrounded by numerous prospect pits and adits that speak to the area's silver and lead heritage. The terrain is marked by significant elevation changes, from the heights of Mine Mountain to the depths of Division Canyon. Water sources like Rock Spring, Delano Well, and Cold Spring appear as vital points in an otherwise arid expanse. This provisional survey captures the transition from traditional underground operations at the Gold Note Mine to modern surface impacts like the Open Pit Mine, providing a clear look at the industrial footprint during a period of active geological assessment in the Great Basin.
