About this map

Goldfield occupies the western edge of this Nevada high-desert survey, where the grid of historic streets like Aluminum St, Main St, and Miners Ave meets the steep, mineral-rich terrain of the Goldfield Hills. The town's proximity to Columbia Mtn and Vindicator Mtn hints at the deep connection between the settlement and the surrounding geology. To the east, the landscape is defined by a series of prominent peaks and washes, including Banner Mtn, Preble Mtn, and the wide course of Big Wash.

Isolated water sources like Tognoni Springs and Rabbit Spring punctuate the arid environment, serving as vital landmarks across the hills. The survey also captures the border between Esmeralda and Nye counties, showing how this jurisdictional line cuts through the high country south of Espina Hill and the Chispa Hills. From Spearhead Point to Malpais Mesa, the map details a topography shaped by both natural erosion and human passage through Meda Pass and over the Goldfield Summit.
