1984 Map of Green Monster Mine

About this map

The Green Monster Mine stands as the primary industrial marker in this high-desert landscape situated along the border of Nevada and California. This 1984 survey documents a region defined by historical transit and precise administrative partitioning, most notably featuring the path of the Old Spanish Trail and the Spanish Trail as they cut through the arid terrain. The landscape is dominated by topographical features like Black Butte and the drainage of Lovell Wash. Of particular interest to surveyors and historians is the presence of the Schmidt Boundary, which delineates the transition between Clark County and Inyo County. The map provides a focused look at the infrastructure of the early 1980s, including a Single Pole Transmission Line crossing the desert floor, reflecting the intersection of historic western trails and modern utility development.
