About this map

Manhattan sits at the heart of this high-altitude landscape, surrounded by a dense concentration of named hills and gulches that speak to a deep mining heritage. Located within the Toiyabe National Forest, the settlement is flanked by the Toquima Range and peaks such as Salisbury Peak and Clover Mtn. The map reveals a complex geography of resource extraction and local nomenclature, with features like Gold Hill, April Fool Hill, and Toro Blanco Hill crowded around the town site.

Evidence of the area's development is found in the network of drainage ways and springs, including Old Manhattan Gulch and East Manhattan Spring. Cultural markers like the Mount Moriah Cemetery and the prominent Black Mammoth Hill provide specific points of interest for those researching the social and industrial footprint of this Nevada mining district. The surrounding terrain is marked by numerous canyons and washes, such as Bald Mountain Canyon and E Manhattan Wash, indicating the hydraulic character of the regional environment.
