Mountain City and the surrounding high country of Elko County are documented in this 1936 survey, which reveals a landscape defined by ranching and mineral exploration. The mining activity of the era is prominent, with sites like the McDonald Mine, Silver Banner Mine, and Golden Ensign Mine dotting the ridges. The presence of the Mountain City Landing Field and the Mountain City Ranger Station underscores the town's role as a regional hub within the Humboldt National Forest.
