1970 Map of Montezuma Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Montezuma and Gemfield anchor this 1970 snapshot of Esmeralda County, showing a landscape defined by mining history and the vital necessity of desert water sources. The Montezuma Range, rising to Montezuma Peak, dominates the west, while the eastern flats are characterized by Malpais Mesa and the Goldfield Hills. The abundance of named water features like Brickyard Spring, Dago Joe Spring, and Slaughterhouse Spring speaks to the region's reliance on these isolated points for ranching and extraction efforts.
