1951 Map of Garden Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

Sulphur Range and the high basins of Central Nevada are captured here during a period of transition for the local ranching and mining economy. The map illustrates a landscape defined by isolated outposts such as Sadler Ranch and Romano Ranch, which relied on scattered water sources like Shipley Hot Spring and Tule Dam Spring to survive in the arid terrain. While the Diamond Valley School served the families of these remote holdings, the industrial character of the region is grounded in the presence of the Prince of Wales Mine and the Mt Hope Mine (Abandoned). The latter is notably marked with a Tailings Pond and Pipeline, detailing the physical infrastructure required for extraction in the high desert. Connecting these points are primitive routes over Bailey Pass and through Mulligan Gap, tracing the rugged geography between Garden Valley and Diamond Valley.
