1937 Map of Mineral Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1937

About this map

The Eureka Nevada RR follows the western base of the Sulphur Spring Range, connecting high-desert mining and ranching hubs during the late 1930s. This survey, conducted by R. R. Monbeck, captures a landscape defined by its vital water sources, from Sulphur Spr in the north to Chimney Sprs at the southern edge. The map documents the localized mining activity at the Mineral Hill settlement and the Old Whalen Mine, while showing the established livestock economy through family holdings like the Bruffey Ranch, Flynn Ranch, and Alpha Ranch. The terrain transitions sharply from the alluvial flats of the railroad corridor into the complex drainages of Slaughterhouse Canyon and Grass Valley Canyon, illustrating the importance of natural springs for survival in this arid territory.
