1982 Map of Floka

About this map

The Western Pacific railroad cuts through this arid landscape, passing the small station point of Floka. This area is characterized by desert terrain and mining activity along the eastern edges of the Kamma Mts. Isolated water sources like Mandalay Spring were vital in this environment, supporting both early travelers and those working the various mineral claims. The presence of several prospects and a noted mine suggests a period of intensive exploration in the hills. Distinctive geological markers, such as the prominent Pulpit Rock, served as local landmarks for those navigating the numerous 4wd tracks that spiderweb across the basin and range territory. The map reflects the specialized infrastructure required for high-desert transit and resource extraction in northern Nevada.
