About this map

The high desert landscape of Mt Butte and Siebert Mtn dominates this 1987 survey along the border of Nye and Esmeralda counties. This area is characterized by its legacy of mineral exploration, with numerous prospects and specialized operations such as the Hill of Gold Mine and the West Tonopah Mine concentrated in the eastern half of the quadrangle. The transport and utility infrastructure of the era is clearly marked, including a prominent Transmission Line and an extensive Old Railroad Grade that cuts across the northern terrain. Lower-lying drainage patterns like Slime Wash lead toward Alkali Flats, while the presence of Sewage Disposal Ponds and clusters of Trailer Parks near the eastern margin suggest proximity to localized industrial or residential outposts. This provisional mapping captures the industrial footprint of the region before further modern developments altered the surface.
