1980 Map of Eddyville

About this map

The Pilot Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in central Nevada, where steep peaks and deep canyons are defined by a long history of mineral exploration. The terrain is pocketed with numerous mining operations including the Dunlap Mine, Warlock Mine, and Reward Mine, many of which are situated near critical water sources like Warlock Spring and Cornelius Spring. The small settlement of Eddyville sits at the transition between the uplands and the expansive Wide Canyon. To the south, the survey tracks the boundary between Mineral Co and Esmeralda Co, crossing into the northern reaches of the Monte Cristo Range. A network of primitive transport routes, marked by jeep trails, connects isolated sites such as the Sullivan Mine and Lost Steers Mine, illustrating the rugged logistics of the region's late-twentieth-century mining industry.
