1988 Map of Gold Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Gold Mountain dominates this high-desert landscape along the border of Esmeralda County, Nevada, and Inyo County, California. The terrain is defined by complex contouring and remote water sources like Willow Spring, which provided a critical point of survival in this arid environment. The map documents evidence of early mineral exploration, specifically noting several prospects on the eastern slopes, indicating the region's draw for 19th and early 20th-century miners. A notable historical boundary line, the Von Schmidt line, cuts across the southern portion of the quadrangle. This survey line represents the original 1872–1873 boundary attempt between the two states, often found on maps of this era to mark the discrepancy between historical surveying and the modern state line.
