2018 Map of Mount Hamilton

About this map

Shermantown and the high peaks of the White Pine Range anchor this 2018 survey of a storied Nevada mining landscape. Within the Humboldt National Forest, the topography is defined by significant elevation changes, from the heights of Mt Hamilton and Babylon Ridge down into deep drainages like McEllen Canyon and Rocco Canyon. The map preserves the industrial footprint of the region's silver mining era through labels such as S Access Monte Cristo Mine and South Access Monte Cristo Mine, while also identifying reliable water sources in this arid terrain like Monte Cristo Spring and Hoppe Spring. A complex network of backcountry routes, including the Pogonip Ridge Trail and Shermantown Trail, provides a detailed record of the access points to these remote high-altitude sites.
