1969 Map of Quartzite Mtn NW

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Broken Hills dominate this portion of Churchill County, revealing a landscape defined by the search for water and mineral wealth in the late 1960s. Surveyed by the Geological Survey, the area is crisscrossed by a network of Jeep Trails that link remote outposts and hydrological markers. Evidence of the region’s ranching or industrial utility is found at Grayback Well No 1 and the labeled Grayback Well No 2 (Dry), alongside the natural source at Mud Spring. The terrain is marked by distinctive formations like Iron Rock and the elevations of Grayback, while scattered Prospect labels indicate the persistent exploratory mining common in this Nevada corridor. The scarcity of permanent settlements emphasizes the demanding nature of the environment during this era of mapping.
