USGS Topo · Published 1963About this map
McDermitt and the adjacent Fort McDermitt I R anchor the northern reaches of this Great Basin landscape, where the high desert of Nevada meets the Oregon border. The survey captures a region defined by remote mining operations and scattered ranching communities, with the Quinn River Valley and Paradise Valley providing corridors of settlement between high ranges. Industrial activity is prominent, notably at the Getchell Mine and Cordero Mine, which were vital to the local economy during the mid-20th century.
