1971 Map of Fairview Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Fairview Peak dominates this high-altitude section of Lincoln County, Nevada, serving as the central landmark for a network of springs and mining claims during the early 1970s. The landscape is defined by the Fairview Range and the wide drainage of Muleshoe Valley, where water sources were critical to both prospecting and livestock. Named water features like Littlefield Spring, Chokecherry Spring, and Frying Pan Spring dot the terrain, often connected by rugged jeep trails. Evidence of the region's mineral history is found in the Silverhorn Mine and Robison Mine, alongside numerous unnamed prospects. The map captures a moment when the high desert economy relied on these scattered water points and small-scale excavations, with family-named landmarks like Robison Spring and Bailey Spring grounding the area's local history.
