1989 Map of McCullough Mountain

About this map

High peaks and mining claims define this landscape in the southern Nevada desert during the late 1980s. The Mc Cullough Range dominates the central terrain, rising toward McCullough Mountain and sloping down into the Lucy Gray Mountains to the west and the New York Mountains in the southeast. This was a territory of active prospecting, evidenced by a dense network of Mine Shafts, Adits, and specific operations like the Silver Bell Mine. Water sources are sparse but critical, marked at Railroad Spring and Pine Spring, while the presence of a Corral and various 4 WD tracks suggests a landscape used for both ranching and mineral exploration. The isolation of the high desert is punctuated by modern utility corridors, including a Radio Tower and several Trans Lines cutting through the valleys.
