1965 Map of Iron Point

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Edna Mountain and the prominent ridge of Iron Point dominate this mid-century landscape in Humboldt County, where the high desert meets a critical transportation corridor. The Humboldt River winds across the northern reaches, flanked by the competing tracks of the Southern Pacific and Western Pacific railroads. This survey reveals a history of transit and resource extraction, tracing the Emigrant Trail (Jeep) as it cuts through Emigrant Canyon, a route long utilized by travelers crossing the Great Basin. Evidence of mining activity is visible on the slopes of the mountains, specifically at the Silver King Mine and Silver Coin Mine. The valley floors of Pumpernickel Valley and the banks of Herrin Slough show a sparse but functional infrastructure of Borrow Pits, Springs, and a Corral near the small settlement of Iron Point.
