1971 Map of Northumberland Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Toiyabe Range dominates this 1970s study of central Nevada, where the high-elevation terrain of the Toiyabe National Forest drops sharply into the expansive Monitor Valley. Industrial history is centered at the Northumberland Mine, a site marked by complex infrastructure including a Tailings Pond and several Ruins near the Northumberland Pass. This area was a focal point for mineral exploration, evidenced by various Prospects scattered across the slopes. The landscape is deeply incised by drainage systems such as Mill Canyon, Ella May Canyon, and West Northumberland Canyon. Significant landmarks for backcountry navigation include Mount Gooding and Mount Wilson, while lower elevations are reached via a network of Jeep Trails and unnamed trails that connect remote springs to the valley floor.
