1960 Map of Mackay
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
Mackay serves as the central hub of this Custer County landscape, situated along the Big Lost River just south of the Mackay Dam and its accompanying Mackay Reservoir. The map illustrates a region transitioning from its early mining peaks toward a mid-century economy, where the industrial legacy of the White Knob Mountains is visible through numerous workings like the Empire Mine and Horseshoe Mine. The presence of the Empire Smelter (Site) and Mammoth (Site) indicates the scale of previous operations, while the Union Pacific railroad line connects these mountain resources to the wider valley floor. Genealogy and local history are preserved in the locations of Battleground Cem, Mt McCaleb Cem, and the settlement of Houston, providing a clear view of the area's social and physical geography during the 1960 survey period.
