1965 Map of Midas

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Midas sits at the edge of the high desert, serving as a hub for the various silver and gold operations scattered across the surrounding slopes. The map details a significant mining landscape in the mid-1960s, punctuated by the Rex Mine, Link Mine, Jackson Mine, and the more expansive Esmeralda Group including the Esmeralda Mine. To the south, the settlement at Wilkinson Ranch marks the transition into the broader grazing lands of Squaw Valley. The topography is dominated by the massive Owyhee Bluffs and Jake Creek Mountain, where high-altitude springs like Spring Creek and Midas Creek feed the lower drainages. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Midas Cemetery, providing a specific point of reference for the families who worked these Nevada claims during the 20th century.
