About this map

Pioche serves as the central hub of this Lincoln County survey, illustrating the concentrated street grid and residential layout of the historic mining community. The landscape is defined by its industrial legacy, with local roads like Ely Valley Mine Rd and Boothill Cemetary Rd hinting at the town's frontier heritage. To the southwest, the smaller settlements of Caselton and Prince are situated at the base of prominent terrain features like Mt Ely and the Pioche Hills.

Drainage patterns across the arid terrain are dictated by the Patterson Wash, which flows toward the Upper Patterson Reservoir in the north. The survey details the complex system of ridges and canyons surrounding the town, including Step Ridge, Treasure Hill, and Churndrill Canyon. This network of washes and steep topography illustrates the environmental constraints and mineral-rich geology that originally drew settlers to this portion of Nevada.
