About this map

The high-desert settlement of Mina serves as the focal point of this Nevada survey, situated along the Southern Pacific corridor. The town's layout reflects its railroad origins, with an Old Railroad Grade and Mina Cemetery marking the edges of the developed area. Beyond the grid of streets, the landscape transitions into the Alkali Flat and the wide expanse of the Soda Spring Valley.

To the east, the terrain rises into the Gabbs Valley Range and the Pilot Mountains, where a history of extraction is evident at the Nun Mine and Pine Tree Mine. The map details a network of canyons, including Volcano Canyon and New York Canyon, which cut through the arid heights. Critical water sources like the Southern Pacific Spring and various tanks emphasize the infrastructure required to sustain life and industry in Mineral County's rugged interior.
