About this map

The Nevada-Massachusetts Tungsten Mine stands as a central industrial landmark in this mid-1980s look at the Humboldt and Pershing County borderlands. The landscape is defined by the extraction of minerals and the essential movement of goods across the Black Rock Desert, with the Southern Pacific and Union Pacific railroads providing the primary lifelines through the arid terrain. Small rail-side settlements like Sulphur, Jungo, and Mill City represent the sparse human footprint in an area dominated by prominent peaks such as Majuba Mtn and the Rosebud Mountains. Water management is critical in this high-desert environment, evidenced by the Upper Pitt-Taylor Reservoir and Lower Pitt-Taylor Reservoir along the Humboldt River. For researchers and historians, this map documents the late-century configuration of numerous mining operations, including the Golden Eagle Mine and Standard Mine, alongside a complex network of springs and washes like Rabbithole Creek.
