1967 Map of Mina NW

About this map

Black Dyke Mountain and the Garfield Hills dominate this section of Mineral County, illustrating a landscape defined by Great Basin mining activity and high-desert basins. The map captures a network of small-scale operations including the Windup Mine, Blue Ribbon Mine, Jeep Mine, and Kay Mine, many of which are accessed by a rugged Jeep Trail winding through the uplands. Along the eastern edge, the Southern Pacific railroad runs parallel to the arid expanse of Soda Spring Valley, where Sand Dunes and the Alkali Flat indicate the endorheic nature of the local hydrology. This 1967 survey, with 1982 photorevisions, provides a precise record of the extraction infrastructure and transport corridors that sustained these remote Nevada districts.
