1968 Map of Gold Point SW

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Slate Ridge dominates this high desert landscape within Esmeralda County, where the rugged topography reflects a history of isolated mining and ranching at the end of the 1960s. The presence of the Enterprise Mine and several other unnamed Mines suggests the persistent search for minerals along these arid slopes. Human activity is marked by transitory outposts like Greens Camp and Tule Corral, while the Stateline (Site) identifies a location of previous habitation near the desert floor. Water management and drainage are defined by the wide expanse of Oriental Wash to the south and the open reach of the Lida Valley to the north. Transportation through this remote terrain relies on a network of primitive routes, including a prominent Jeep Trail that threads between Black Mountain and the surrounding ridges.
