1970 Map of Klondike

About this map

The Klondike (Site) represents a focused point of historical interest in this arid Esmeralda County landscape, situated near a junction of transport and utility lines. Industrial activity is concentrated at the Tonopah Hasbrouck Mine and nearby Gravel Pit operations at the foot of Hasbrouck Peak. The map records a transition in transit, showing an Old Railroad Grade that once served the region alongside modern infrastructure like a Powerline and various Jeep Trails. To the south, the terrain descends toward the Alkali Lake Alkali Flat, a significant depression where the Big Wash terminates. This 1970 survey captures the infrastructure of the Nevada desert, from the Klondike Well (Dry) and its adjacent Water Tank to the critical survey benchmarks that define the township and range system near the Base Line.
