1948 Map of Ione

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Mining activity and rugged central Nevada terrain characterize this survey, with the Toiyabe National Forest spanning the eastern high ground. The settlements of Ione, Berlin, and Grantsville serve as anchors for the local district, which is heavily marked by late-19th and early-20th-century extraction efforts. Significant sites include the Nevada Cinnabar Mine, the Shamrock Mine, and the Kohinoor Mine, along with various Shamrock Diggings found near the mountain peaks. The landscape is a network of canyons and springs, such as Union Canyon and Ione Spring, which were vital for sustaining the small communities and industrial operations in this arid environment. Ranching interests are represented by the Milton Ranch and Spanish Ranch, while a lone Cem near Grantsville provides a point of interest for genealogists tracking early residents of these high-altitude mining camps.
