2012 Map of Seligman Canyon

About this map

Belmont Mill stands as a significant industrial landmark in the eastern portion of the White Pine Range, marking the intersection of mining history and high-desert geography. This 2012 survey illustrates the transition from the broad flats of Newark Valley into the dissected terrain of the mountains, where a network of remote county roads like Co RD 5 and Co RD 9 provides access to several perennial water sources. These include Emigrant Spring, Allan Spring, and Seligman Spring, which have long been vital for travel and industry in this arid environment. The map details a series of rugged landforms including Babylon Ridge and numerous drainages such as Seligman Canyon, McEllen Canyon, and Mohawk Canyon. The spatial relationship between these canyons and the mill site highlights the logistical challenges faced by early 20th-century operations in this part of Nevada.
