1969 Map of Manhattan Mtn

About this map

Manhattan Mountain and Ravenswood Peak dominate this Lander County landscape, marking a high-elevation environment where water sources like Steiner Spring and Meadow Spring were essential for early activity. In the lowlands, the Reese River flows through the valley, flanked by an Old Railroad Grade that speaks to the former industrial and transport networks of this Nevada corridor. The presence of a Prospect and a Gravel Pit near Duffy Meadows indicates the localized mining and extraction efforts common in the region during the mid-20th century. Topographic details reveal the complex drainage of Bernd Canyon and the surrounding peaks, while a network of Jeep Trails provides the primary access through the high country, connecting remote springs and landmark summits.
