About this map

Manhattan sits at the heart of this Nevada landscape, revealing a community deeply intertwined with its mining heritage. The area is marked by numerous industrial landmarks such as the Manhattan Ore and Milling Company Mill, War Eagle Mill, and Manhattan Consolidated Mill, which emphasize the historic economic focus of the region. This 2011 survey documents the proximity of these operations to the residential center and the Manhattan Post Office.

Beyond the primary settlement, the terrain is characterized by a series of uniquely named peaks and gulches, including Salisbury Peak, The Bald Brother, and Litigation Hill. The presence of Mount Moriah Cemetery and the outlying North Manhattan and East Manhattan areas provides critical context for local historians and genealogists tracking the development of Nye County's smaller communities. The landscape is further defined by seasonal water features like Bald Mountain Wash and East Manhattan Wash, which drain the complex topography of the Toquima Range.
