1971 Map of Silver King Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

The Schell Creek Range dominates this corner of the Great Basin, where the high peaks of the Nevada interior meet the administrative boundary between Nye and Lincoln counties. This 1970s survey captures a landscape defined by its aridity and geological potential, centered on the towering Silver King Mountain and the nearby Silver King Pass. While the terrain appears largely unsettled, evidence of human activity is recorded through a network of Jeep Trails and a specific Prospect located on the northern slopes of Burnt Peak. The inclusion of the Burnt Peak Well (Dry) provides a stark detail of the challenges facing those who worked this land, marking a failed or seasonal water source in an environment where moisture was a critical resource for mining and ranching interests.
