About this map

The Palmetto Mountains dominate this high-desert region of Esmeralda County, where mining activity and remote springs define the landscape. The settlement of Palmetto sits along Lida Wash, serving as a central point in a topography marked by industrial extraction, notably at the Blue Dick Mine and several scattered Open Pit Mines. For historians and researchers, the map documents the essential water infrastructure of the Great Basin, including Mammoth Springs, State Line Springs, and Stockade Spring. Movement through this high-altitude terrain is channeled by landmarks such as Lida Summit and more isolated features like the Kline Spring Corral. To the southeast, the terrain descends toward the Lida Valley, while a remote Landing Strip suggests the scale and isolation of these high-desert operations.
