1972 Map of Pirouette Mtn

About this map

Dixie Valley (Depression) dominates the central landscape of this Churchill County survey, revealing a high-desert environment defined by extreme relief and sparse water resources. The terrain rises sharply from the valley floor toward Pirouette Mtn, where small-scale mining activity is evident through several marked prospects and a singular prospect near the mountain's eastern slopes. These small excavations suggest the mid-century search for minerals in the remote Basin and Range province.
