1953 Map of Pinto Summit

About this map

Mining operations and remote homesteads characterize this high-desert landscape during the mid-twentieth century. The intensive extraction history of the Fish Creek Range is evident in the numerous shafts and tunnels clustered along Prospect Ridge and Hamburg Ridge, including the Windfall Mine, Hoosac Mine, and Eldorado Tunnel. These industrial sites sit in contrast to the rural life at the Schaefer Ranch and the Fish Creek Ranch, reflecting an era when small-scale agriculture and large-scale mining coexisted in the Great Basin.
