1987 Map of Lida Wash SW

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Silver Peak Range and the Palmetto Mountains converge in this high-desert landscape, where the jagged topography drops sharply northward toward the flat expanse of Clayton Valley. Mapping here focuses heavily on the extractive history of Esmeralda County, revealing a network of rugged 4wd tracks that provided the only access to numerous remote workings. While no large-scale towns are present, the map is dotted with individual mining features, including several prospects and an isolated Mine, reflecting the persistent mineral exploration characteristic of this region in the late twentieth century. Surveyed in the mid-1980s, the document illustrates a transition from the mountainous peaks down to the alkali basin floor, preserving the exact layout of the primitive road system used by surveyors and prospectors alike.
