USGS Topo · Published 1940About this map
Mountain City serves as the focal point for this 1930s-era survey, revealing a landscape defined by mining activity and high-desert ranching along the Owyhee River. The presence of the Golden Ensign Mine, Rio Tinto Mine, and the settlement of Patsville underscores the importance of mineral extraction in this remote corner of Elko Co near the Idaho border. The map documents an essential transportation and logistics network, from the Mountain City Landing Field to the Mountain City Ranger Sta within the Humboldt National Forest.
