1918 Map of Highland

USGS Topo · Published 1918

About this map

The high peaks and mining corridors of the Highland Range dominate this 1916 survey, where industrial and natural landmarks converge in eastern Nevada. At the northern end, the Pacific Narrow Gage railroad snakes toward the Bristol Range, supporting a mountain landscape punctuated by the Mendha Mine and Comet Mine. Between the steep summits of Arizona Peak and Highland Peak, a network of springs—including Highland Spring, Simpson Springs, and Bennett Springs—provided essential water in a region defined by its elevation and aridity. The presence of Smiths Cabin and isolated wells like Delmues Well suggest the modest footprint of early prospectors and ranchers who navigated the complex topography of Wood Canyon and Black Canyon. Major transit routes such as the Cherry Creek and Pioche Road and Delamar Road link the mountain passes, illustrating the logistical challenges of Lincoln County's early twentieth-century mining era.
