1959 Map of McDermitt
USGS Topo · Published 1959About this map
McDermitt sits at the northern edge of this high-desert landscape where the Quinn River Valley meets the Oregon border. The survey details a remote interior of the Great Basin during the late 1950s, defined by high ranges like the Santa Rosa Range and the Tuscarora Mountains. The map reveals an economy still deeply tied to mineral extraction, showing the Cordero Mine and the Mountain View Mine (gold), alongside several sites already noted as inactive, such as the Cornucopia Mine (Silver abandoned).
