1965 Map of Iron Point

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Humboldt River meanders through the northern reaches of this Great Basin landscape, following a corridor shared by the Western Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads. The area represents a critical historical transit point where the Emigrant Trail (Old) aligns with modern infrastructure between Edna Mountain and the Iron Point ridges. Mining activity is concentrated along the western slopes, evidenced by the Silver King Mine and Silver Coin Mine, while the southern portion of the quadrangle opens into the broad Pumpernickel Valley. Small settlements like Iron Point and Red House mark the rail line, providing glimpses into the sparse but strategic development of Humboldt County during the mid-20th century. The presence of a Gaging Station and various Herrin Sloughs highlights the importance of water management in this arid Nevada terrain.
