1985 Map of Newark Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Diamond Mountains and Maverick Springs Range dominate this mid-1980s landscape, illustrating the classic basin-and-range geography of central Nevada. The western edge is anchored by the historic mining town of Eureka, while the central expanse reveals the seasonally shifting waters of Newark Lake within the Newark Valley. This map is particularly valuable for its documentation of water sources in an arid environment, noting numerous family-named and descriptive wells such as Maple Syrup Well, J and J Well, and Goicoechea Well. These points of water, along with remote outposts like Newark, trace the survival of ranching and early industrial activity in the high desert. Mining interests are evident at the Bay State Mine and various unnamed gravel pits, while the presence of the Eureka Airport and several 4WD tracks indicates the modern infrastructure supporting this remote territory at the boundary of Eureka and White Pine counties.
