1982 Map of Silver Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The Schell Creek Range dominates the western half of this 1982 provisional survey, providing a backdrop for the remote mining and ranching outposts of White Pine County. High mountain terrain within the Humboldt National Forest gives way to the broad expanse of Spring Valley to the east. Evidence of the region’s mineral history is carved into the slopes at the Siegel Mines and the Greek American Mine near the head of Silver Canyon. In the lowlands, water management is the primary driver of settlement, as seen in the system of ditches and name-bearing water sources like Osborne Springs and Willow Spring. The map documents small, scattered clusters including the settlement of Aurum and family-held locations like Siegel Ranch and Doutre Ranch, illustrating the sparse, resource-driven residency of the high Great Basin.
