1985 Map of Eugene Mts

About this map

The Nevada-Massachusetts (Tungsten) Mine stands as a significant industrial landmark in this high-desert landscape of northwestern Nevada, situated near the Eugene Mountains. This 1985 compilation reveals a region defined by mineral extraction and water management, where the Humboldt River feeds into the Rye Patch Reservoir and the Upper Pitt-Taylor Reservoir. Small rail-aligned settlements like Sulphur and Jungo punctuate the vast reaches between the Antelope Range and the Kamma Mountains. The presence of numerous named shafts such as the Stank Mine and Golden Eagle Mine illustrates the enduring importance of the mining districts that historically supported local economies. Transportation is dominated by the Southern Pacific railroad and routes through Poker Brown Gap, while the Rye Patch State Recreation Area marks a shift toward public land use along the river corridor.
