1970 Map of Paymaster Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Mining and topography dominate this 1970 field-checked survey of Esmeralda County. The landscape is defined by the massive Paymaster Canyon corridor, which separates the Weepah Hills from the General Thomas Hills. In the high ground, the General Thomas Mine and the Paymaster Mine indicate the region's enduring mineral interest, while scattered prospects suggest widespread exploration throughout the mid-20th century. The presence of a Corral and a Dry Well highlights the practical challenges of working this arid terrain.
