1987 Map of San Antonio Well

About this map

The San Antonio Mountains dominate this Nye County landscape, where the arid environment required a reliance on scattered water sources and mineral extraction. This 1987 provisional edition reveals the legacy of local mining efforts, centered on the San Antonio Mine and several nearby Prospects. These features indicate a history of exploration and industry in a territory where resources are sparse. Water access in this desert terrain is localized, evidenced by the San Antonio Well and a solitary Spring. The map provides a clear picture of the topography and the limited human footprint during the late 20th century, capturing the area before modern changes shifted the character of this mining and grazing land.
