1968 Map of Scottys Junction SW

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Slate Ridge dominates this high-desert landscape along the border of Esmeralda and Nye counties. This 1968 survey, revised in 1982, reveals a history of remote desert industry concentrated around isolated mining claims and critical water sources. The presence of the Silver Moon Mine, Gold Coin Mine, and Rattlesnake Mine suggests a period of hard-rock mineral prospecting in these arid uplands. Transportation through this challenging terrain was historically facilitated by an Old Railroad Grade cutting through the eastern flats, while modern access relies on various 4wd tracks. Vital water points such as Tokop Well and Anderson Well indicate the essential infrastructure required for survival and industrial operations in this Nevada backcountry.
