1979 Map of Pilot Cone

About this map

Koegel Hills and the prominent peak of Pilot Cone dominate this high-desert landscape in Mineral County, surveyed in the mid-1970s. The western portion of the map is defined by the Walker River Indian Reservation Boundary, illustrating the intersection of sovereign tribal lands and public domain in this arid region. For those researching the era's mining and water infrastructure, the map identifies a solitary Mine at the northern edge and various Prospects scattered across the hills.
