1971 Map of Round Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Round Mountain sits at the edge of the Big Smoky Valley, defined in the early 1970s by its intensive mining operations and its proximity to the high peaks of the Toiyabe National Forest. The landscape around the actual Round Mtn landmark is heavily marked by industrial activity, featuring numerous Mine Dumps, a specialized Landing Strip, and the Steigmeyer Mill located to the north near Jefferson Creek. This survey captures the town in a period of transition, where the local economy remained tied to the mineral wealth of the surrounding canyons while maintaining essential community landmarks like the local Cem. East of the valley floor, the terrain rises sharply into a series of deeply cut drainages including Ink House Canyon and Slaughterhouse Canyon, providing a detailed look at the water sources and rugged geography of central Nevada.
