1985 Map of Excelsior Mts

About this map

Mina and Sodaville sit at the intersection of desert industry and transportation in this mid-1980s mid-scale survey. The landscape is defined by the high desert basins of Soda Spring Valley and Huntoon Valley, flanked by the massive Wassuk Range and Excelsior Mountains. The region's long-standing mining economy is evidenced by numerous operations such as the Borealis Mine, Silver Dyke Mine, and Pamlico Mines. The map also captures the extensive footprint of the Hawthorne Ammunition Depot and the route of the Southern Pacific railroad.
