1950 Map of Ione

About this map

The high desert terrain of the Toiyabe National Forest dominates this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by Nevada's mining history. The settlement of Ione serves as a primary point of reference alongside the mining camps of Berlin and Grantsville. The map documents the industrial footprint of the era, from the Nevada Cinnabar Mine and Shamrock Diggings to the Kohinoor Mine, which is specifically noted as inactive by the late 1940s. Natural features such as Buffalo Mtn and Grantsville Ridge dictate the placement of early infrastructure and ranching outposts like Milton Ranch. The prevalence of named springs, including Indian Garden Spr and Wild Carrot Spr, highlights the critical importance of water sources for both the survival of these high-altitude settlements and the processing operations of the local mines during the post-war period.
