1937 Map of Mineral Hill

About this map

The high desert corridor of the Sulphur Spring Range and Table Mountain dominates this 1937 survey of central Nevada. The geography is defined by a series of family-named ranching outposts, such as Bruffey Ranch and Plummer Ranch, which relied on a network of thermal and freshwater sources including Hot Sprs and Warm Spring. This era captures the landscape's transition, showing the Eureka Nevada railroad marked as abandoned as it passes through Alpha and Blackburn. Mining interests remain central to the region, evidenced by the Bell Mine and Old Whalen Mine located on the eastern slopes and southern flats. The map provides a detailed view of the remote water economy of the time, from the Ryepatch Well to the high-elevation Flynn Spring, illustrating how essential these singular points were for the survival of the isolated settlements and cattle operations in Garden Valley.
