1981 Map of Scossa

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The Scossa mining district and high desert basins of Pershing County are captured here following a 1970s field survey. This arid landscape is defined by the elevation changes between the Antelope Range and the Majuba Mountains, where water sources like Moonshine Spring and Cedar Springs were vital for both early prospecting and livestock. The settlement of Scossa, positioned near several Mine and Prospects symbols, represents the typical boom-and-bust cycle of Nevada silver and gold hunting. Further south, Abel Camp and its associated Abel Camp Spring mark a smaller focal point of activity connected by rugged 4wd tracks. The presence of Imlay Summit and Antelope Summit illustrates the topographical challenges faced by those navigating the territory before the modern highway era.
