1956 Map of Horse Thief Springs

About this map

Mining claims and desert springs define this mid-century survey of the high desert along the border of California and Nevada. The landscape is dominated by the Kingston Range, which serves as a backdrop for a concentration of early extraction sites such as the Silver Rule Mine, Jupiter Mine, and the Snow White Mine. These operations, along with others like the Smith Mine and Omega Mine, reflect the prospecting history that drew settlers to this arid region.
