1987 Map of Minerva Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Humboldt National Forest and the western edge of Great Basin National Park define this high-altitude landscape in the Snake Range. The map reveals an intensive history of mineral extraction concentrated along the slopes of Minerva Canyon, where a network of 4WD tracks connects operations like the Tungsten Queen Mine, Everett Mines, and The Chief Mine. These sites indicate the area's mid-20th-century importance for tungsten and silver mining, long before its designation for federal protection. Steep drainages such as Lincoln Canyon and Johns Wash flow through the dramatic relief near Highland Ridge, while unique geological features like the Natural Arch and Granite Peak punctuate the high-country terrain. This provisional edition provides a specialized look at the industrial and natural geography of White Pine County shortly after the creation of the national park.
