1987 Map of Mud Lake NW

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Mining operations dominate this arid expanse of the Great Basin along the Esmeralda Co Nye Co line. The landscape is heavily marked by late-twentieth-century extraction efforts, featuring high-interest sites for researchers such as the Silver King Mine and the Gold Seam Mine. Countless prospects, adits, and mine shafts pepper the terrain, illustrating the persistent search for mineral wealth across this high-desert region. An indefinite boundary snakes through the topography, while a gravel pit and numerous scattered adit and prospect labels indicate a landscape of ongoing industrial utility. This map captures the industrial character of the Nevada desert during the mid-1980s, documenting the specific locations of many smaller, unnamed mining attempts alongside established operations.
