1967 Map of Flowery Peak

About this map

The Flowery Range dominates this landscape, serving as a backdrop to the industrial legacy of the Flowery Mining District. Underground mining operations are highlighted by the path of the Sutro Tunnel, which runs beneath the peaks to reach the Comstock Lode. Its presence is marked on the surface by several Air Shaft locations and the settlement of Sutro itself near the Carson River. The western slopes are dotted with specific mining landmarks like the Belmont-Uncle Sam Shaft, the Lady Bryan Mine, and the Berry Glory Hole, while the former townsite of Monte Cristo sits tucked between Sixmile Canyon and Sugarloaf. Down in the Carson Plains, the river's water is managed through the Koch Ditch and a Diversion Dam, supporting agriculture alongside the recreational lands of Dayton State Park.
