1985 Map of Ravens Nest

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Pine Mountain dominates this high-elevation landscape in northeastern Nevada, where the border of Elko and Eureka counties traces a jagged line across the peaks. By the mid-1980s, the area's history as a mining district is clearly visible through a dense cluster of workings on the eastern slopes. A concentration of named claims including the Standing Elk Mine, Silver King Mine, and Red Bird Mine suggests a significant period of exploration and extraction near Lee Canyon. The topography is defined by sharp drainages like Ferdelford Creek and Webb Creek, which cut through the mountain front. Numerous water sources, such as Stump Spring and Murdock Spring, are crucial landmarks in this arid environment, while the eponymous Ravens Nest and Bunker Hill serve as primary navigational points for the high country.
