1956 Map of Mt. Blitzen

About this map

The Tuscarora Mountains anchor this mid-century survey of the high Elko County landscape, where the South Fork Owyhee River snakes through the northeast corner at Swimmers Flat. The map reveals a high-elevation mining economy centered on the western slopes and interior ridges, notably at the Amazon Mine and Good Hope Mine near Chino Creek, as well as the Divide Mines and Falcon Mines further south.
