1967 Map of Mina NW

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Black Dyke Mountain and the southern reaches of the Garfield Hills dominate this mid-century view of the Nevada desert. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from high peaks down to the expansive Soda Spring Valley and Alkali Flat. Human presence is largely industrial and transient, focused on the extraction of minerals from the slopes of the mountains and the transport of materials across the basin. The Southern Pacific railroad cuts a straight line through the valley, providing a lifeline for the various mining operations located in the hills. Notable claims such as the Blue Ribbon Mine, Windup Mine, and Kay Mine are scattered across the high ground, while several Gravel Pits operate near the rail line and the established Jeep Trails. To the east, shifting Sand Dunes encroach upon the valley floor, highlighting the dynamic nature of this arid environment.
