1981 Map of Placerites

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The Kamma Mountains dominate this Pershing County landscape, where the arid high desert terrain is punctuated by historical mining activity and critical water sources. Central to the map is Placerites, a small settlement location surrounded by evidence of early extraction, including numerous Mine sites, Prospects, and Borrow Pits scattered across the alluvial fans. This 1981 survey illustrates how geography dictated movement in this part of Nevada, with 4WD trails tracing the natural contours and connecting the few reliable water points.
