About this map

Schroeder Mountain and the deep incision of Maggie Canyon define this high-desert terrain during the late 1960s. The landscape reflects a legacy of extraction and ranching infrastructure along the Eureka Co Elko Co line, where the water of Maggie Creek and James Creek supported localized operations. Mining interest is prominent throughout the quadrangle, evidenced by the Good Hope Mine, Queen Ann Mine, and the Copper King Mine, alongside numerous unnamed prospects.

Industrial and ranching markers are scattered across the sagebrush-covered hills, from the Rebholtz No 2 Well to the remote Hadleys Windmill. A network of unpaved tracks, including the Aqueduct Road and various Jeep Trails, provides the only access through the drainage basins of Simon Creek and Marys Creek. The map documents a sparsely populated but active resource landscape, emphasizing the importance of reliable water sources like the Water Tank and various perennial Springs.
