1956 Map of Mt. Blitzen

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The high desert of Elko County is defined here by the Tuscarora Mountains, a range where mid-century mining activity and ranching trails intersect. Surveyed in the mid-1950s, this landscape shows evidence of mineral exploration at the Amazon Mine and Good Hope Mine in the north, while the Divide Mines and Falcon Mines sit further south among the peaks. Water sources are critical landmarks in this arid environment, with the South Fork Owyhee River cutting through the northeast corner and various drainages like Chino Creek and Red Cow Creek feeding into the basin.
