USGS Topo · Published 1961About this map
The massive Tailings Area and sewage disposal systems of McGill dominate this late-1950s landscape, reflecting the heavy industrial footprint of copper production in White Pine County. The Nevada Northern Railway provides the primary transportation spine through the valley, connecting the industrial center at McGill with East Ely and the mining operations near Ruth. The map captures a moment when the mining economy is fully integrated into the terrain, from the Limestone Quarry to several named waste dumps like the Puritan Dump.
