1967 Map of Mina NW

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Black Dyke Mountain and the Garfield Hills dominate this arid Nevada landscape, which centers on the mineral extraction and transport networks of the late 1960s. Mining activity is widespread across the upland slopes, including the Windup Mine, Blue Ribbon Mine, and Black Butte Mine. The topographic detail reveals the industrial footprint of these operations, which relied on the Southern Pacific railroad corridor that cuts through the Soda Spring Valley to the east. Along the valley floor, the transition from Alkali Flat to shifting Sand Dunes highlights the stark environmental conditions. A network of Jeep Trails provides the primary access to the interior peaks, while a small group of Graves located south of the Black Butte Mine offers a quiet connection to the human history of this remote mining district.
