1987 Map of Mineral Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

The high ridges of the Pine Nut Mountains dominate this landscape along the borders of Carson City and Douglas County, where the terrain is marked by legacy mining operations and vital water sources. Mining activity is central to the area's history, represented by the June Ellen Mine and the Utopian Mine, as well as a designated Mine Shaft. These sites are concentrated near the northern end of the range, transitioning into the steep drainages of Eldorado Canyon. Localized hydrology is critical in this arid environment, with Erastra Spring and Lebo Spring providing reliable water points for prospectors and wildlife alike. The topography culminates at prominent heights such as Bismark Peak and Mineral Peak, overlooking the expansive Mineral Valley to the east.
