1987 Map of Goat Island

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Clayton Valley dominates this 1980s landscape, revealing an industrial and mining-heavy environment in Esmeralda County. The desert floor is heavily modified with an extensive network of dikes, levees, and large evaporation ponds, signifying significant mineral extraction operations common to this part of Nevada. To the north, the Weepah Hills rise above the basin, scattered with evidence of prospecting and older activity including ruins and numerous prospects. Distinctive landforms such as Goat Island and Angel Island emerge from the valley floor, surrounded by complex water management infrastructure and a substation. The presence of a corral and several wells along private roads suggests the intersection of traditional land use with the larger-scale industrial modification of the salt flats.
