1971 Map of Manhattan

About this map

Manhattan sits at the heart of this Nevada mining district, where the landscape is defined by extensive hard-rock extraction and complex geologic topography. High in the Toiyabe Range, the community is surrounded by a dense network of productive claims and named peaks, including Mustang Hill, April Fool Hill, and Gold Hill. The map meticulously records the industrial footprint of the early 1970s, from the Tailings Ponds in Manhattan Gulch to the workings of the Big Four and White Caps mines.
