1958 Map of Reipetown

About this map

Mining operations dominate the eastern foothills of the Egan Range, where the intensive excavation of the mid-20th century is etched into the landscape. The settlements of Reipetown and Kimberly serve as the residential hubs for this industrial zone, positioned adjacent to massive open-cast workings including the Veteran Pit, Tripp Pit, and Liberty Pit. The infrastructure of the copper mining era is dense here, with the Nevada Northern railway providing the vital link to the outside world, winding through Weary Flat and beneath the shadow of White Hill.
