1967 Map of Miller Mountain

About this map

The high-desert terrain of the Candelaria Hills and the prominent peak of Miller Mountain dominate this late 1960s survey along the boundary of Mineral and Esmeralda counties. This is a landscape defined by isolated mineral extraction and technical infrastructure, where mining claims like the Maxfield Mine and Kelly and Clark Mine are connected by a web of Jeep Trails cutting through the arid topography. At the southern edge of the sheet, the presence of an Aqueduct and a Water Tank underscores the critical importance of water management in this dry environment. The southern boundary is further defined by Pinchot Creek, which runs parallel to a designated light-duty road, providing one of the few points of access to the numerous prospects and pits scattered throughout the region.
