1980 Map of Kibby Flat

About this map

Pilot Mountains dominate the western edge of this Nevada landscape, where the high terrain transitions into the broad, arid expanse of the Monte Cristo Valley. This region is defined by its industrial history, particularly the mining activity concentrated in the uplands. Near the summit areas, researchers can locate the Tiffany Mine alongside several other unnamed Mines and a Mine site, while the eastern flats reveal the industrial footprint of the Dunham Mill (Site). The valley floor is punctuated by various water and infrastructure points, including the Kibby Flat Well and a Micro Wave Well, reflecting the remote logistics of the Great Basin. Large geological features like Kibby Flat and several surrounding basins marked Depression characterize the local drainage patterns and terminal basins common to this part of Esmeralda County and Mineral County.
