1972 Map of Frenchman

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The tiny settlement of Frenchman sits along the road between the Stillwater Range and the Sand Springs Range, marking a remote stop in Churchill County. This high desert landscape is dominated by the vast Fairview Valley (Depression) and the alkaline expanse of Labou Flat to the south. The mapping reveals a region heavily defined by cold war-era military operations and resource extraction. Significant portions of the valley are designated as the U S Naval Reservation (Training Area) and a corresponding Target Area, while the mountains to the west show the scars of silver and gold prospecting at the Summit King Mine, accompanied by various Prospects and Tailings. A distinctive field of Sand Dunes is captured in the northwestern corner, illustrating the dynamic natural forces at work near Red Top Canyon.
