1987 Map of Mill City

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Mill City serves as a focal point along the Southern Pacific rail line in this Nevada desert landscape, where water management and mineral extraction define the local economy. The winding Humboldt River is closely paralleled by the Pitt-Taylor Canal, illustrating the engineering efforts required to divert water for local use. To the south, the foothills of the Humboldt Range rise sharply, dotted with numerous Prospect sites that reflect the region's enduring mining heritage. The map also captures infrastructure such as a Landing Strip and a Trailer Park, alongside broad topographical features like Dun Glen Flat and its namesake Dun Glen Creek. This 1980s data provides a clear view of how transportation and irrigation networks converged in Pershing County, supporting both transit and small-scale settlement.
