1961 Map of Mt. Tobin

About this map

Pleasant Valley and the Gold Banks Hills dominate this high-desert Nevada landscape, recorded during a 1961 field check. The map serves as a vital record for genealogists and mining historians, documenting former habitations like Goldbanks (Site) and Kennedy (Site). The concentration of resource extraction in the southern reaches is evident through the Tip Top Mine, Eureka Mine, and Camera Mine clustered near Miller Basin. In these arid basins, water remains the primary driver of human geography, marked by features such as the Goldbanks Windmill, Ringling Well, and the remote Pearce Sch. Further east, the terrain rises sharply toward Mt Tobin, overlooking deep drainages like Siard Canyon and the high passage at Golconda Pass. This survey preserves the exact locations of these remote outposts and infrastructure before many traces were lost to time.
