1987 Map of Rochester

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Lower Rochester and Packard anchor the industrial landscape of this late-20th-century topographic survey, where the peaks of the Humboldt Range are marked by a dense concentration of mining operations. The map documents an intensive extraction history, from the Nevada Packard Mines in the south to the Humboldt Queen Mine and Champion Mine in the north. Significant mining infrastructure is detailed around Nenzel Hill Mine and the Rochester Mine (Dump), while an Old Railroad Grade snakes through the canyons, tracing the historical logistics of the district. The terrain transitions from the high elevations of Lone Mountain and Gold Mountain down into the broad expanses of Packard Flat and Sage Hen Flat, providing a comprehensive look at the relationship between geological features and the development of these Nevada mining camps.
