USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
Mining operations and high-desert rangelands dominate this mid-century look at the borderlands where Nevada meets Oregon and Idaho. The landscape is defined by the heavy presence of extractive industry, including the Cordero Mine near the northern border and the Getchell Mine situated along the eastern flank of the Osgood Mountains. Settlements like McDermitt and the mining center of Tuscarora serve as hubs in a region shaped by the Humboldt National Forest and the vast Duck Valley Indian Reservation.
