1948 Map of Paradise Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

Mining operations and remote settlements define this high-desert landscape in the late 1940s, anchored by the industrial activities at Gabbs and the Sierra Magnesite Camp. The map documents a rugged transition from the flat expanses of Gabbs Valley and Lodi Valley to the steep elevations of the Toiyabe National Forest. Evidence of a booming mineral economy is everywhere, from the Victory Tungsten Mine to the Holly Mine and Sherman Mine, which are tucked into the canyons of the Paradise Range.
