1921 Map of NW 1/4 Panaca

About this map

Mining operations and early railroad infrastructure dominate this 1916 survey of the high desert, captured during a period of industrial activity in the Ely Range. The town of Pioche serves as the focal point for regional silver and lead extraction, with the Prince Consolidated Mine and the Prince Con Mining and Smelting Co illustrating the era's heavy industrial footprint. Transporting ore from these sites required specialized transit, shown here as the Pacific (Narrow Gauge) and the Caliente and Pioche Branch, which connect the highland mines to processing points near Bullionville.
