1987 Map of Red Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Walker River Indian Reservation occupies the central and southern portions of this Nevada survey, a landscape defined by desert basins and high-relief terrain. The geography is dominated by the Barnett Hills to the north and the namesake Red Ridge to the south, with the wide expanse of Rawhide Flats bridging the two. This 1980s-era documentation highlights a history of extraction and transportation, evidenced by an Old Railroad Grade cutting across the flats. Evidence of mineral exploration is scattered throughout the region, with specific markings for a Mine, multiple Prospect sites, and an Adit tucked into the slopes. These features, alongside several Dry Lake beds, reflect the arid environment and the industrial efforts to navigate and utilize this stretch of the Churchill and Mineral County border.
