1948 Map of Paradise Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Gabbs Valley and the Lodi Valley define the western reaches of this 1948 survey, where the extraction of magnesium and tungsten drove the local economy. The town of Gabbs and the nearby Brucite settlement serve as the primary hubs, supporting extensive operations at the Brucite Mine and the Sierra Magnesite Mine. High in the mountains of the Toiyabe National Forest, numerous mining sites such as the Victory Tungsten Mine and the Illinois Mine dot the slopes of Paradise Peak and Sherman Peak.
