1969 Map of Quartz Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Quartz Mtn (Site) serves as the primary focal point of this arid mining landscape at the intersection of Churchill, Mineral, and Nye Counties. This 1969 field check captures the industrial footprint of silver and lead extraction, evidenced by several named operations including the San Rafael Mine and the Hasbrouck Mine. The topography is dominated by the Broken Hills and the sloping expanses of Gabbs Valley and Lodi Valley. A network of Jeep Trails provides the only access through these high-desert ridges, connecting isolated workings like the Huntley Mine and White Pine Mine in the southern Lodi Hills. Numerous unnamed prospects are scattered throughout the quadrangle, indicating a period of active or legacy mineral exploration across the tri-county border area.
