2018 Map of Ione

About this map

Ione and Berlin sit at the western edge of the Shoshone Mountains in this modern survey of central Nevada. The landscape is defined by its mining-era heritage and high-desert terrain, characterized by deep canyons such as Buffalo Canyon and Berlin Canyon. Historically significant sites for genealogists and local historians include the Ione Cem and Berlin Cem, which mark these long-established settlements. The map details a complex network of forest access routes like the Spanish Ranch Spur and the Idlewild Creek Bypass, many of which follow the natural contours of the Toiyabe National Forest. This remote section of Nye County is punctuated by vital water sources including Knickerbocker Spring and Ione Spring, which were essential for ranching and prospecting in the arid Shoshone range. Notable high points like Buffalo Mtn and Union Pass provide context for the steep topography that separated these historic camps.
