1958 Map of Riepetown

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Mining operations dominate the high desert terrain of the Egan Range in this late 1950s survey of White Pine County. The landscape is defined by the massive excavation footprints of the Veteran Pit, Tripp Pit, and Liberty Pit, alongside a dense network of industrial infrastructure. Residential hubs for the workforce are concentrated at Kimberly and Riepetown, while the Nevada Northern railroad provides the critical link for transporting ore out of the district. Numerous specific vertical workings such as the Alpha Shaft, Morris Shaft, and the Matilda Tunnel indicate the intense subterranean activity surrounding the open pits. Beyond the industrial zones, the terrain transitions into the broad expanse of Copper Flat, where water sources like Lyons Spring and Giroux Sprs provide rare moisture in a landscape of washes and canyons.
