1950 Map of Ione

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Ione and Berlin anchor this mid-century look at the western edge of the Toiyabe Range, where mining history and high-desert ranching intersect. The landscape is defined by the steep elevation of Buffalo Mtn and Knickerbecker Ridge, cut by drainage systems like Ellsworth Canyon and Ione Canyon. Evidence of the region's mineral industry is prominent, with the Kohinoor Mine, Shamrock Mine, and the Nevada Cinnabar Mine scattered across the slopes. Near Grantsville, the presence of a Cem and Milton Ranch highlights the small pockets of permanent settlement and agriculture maintained in this arid environment. This 1950 survey, based on 1946 aerial photography, provides a detailed view of the trail and spring network—including Ione Spring and Spanish Spr—essential for survival and commerce in this section of the Toiyabe National Forest.
