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 high-elevation topography meets the arid desert floor. This 1971 survey details the complex terrain surrounding Silver King Mountain and the neighboring Burnt Peak, providing a clear record of the area's geological and mineralogical interest. Evidence of past exploration is visible at a marked Prospect located on the eastern slopes, a common sight in this mineral-rich portion of the Nevada interior. The isolation of the landscape is underscored by the presence of a Burnt Peak Well (Dry) and the network of faint Jeep Trails that serve as the primary means of access. The boundary between Nye Co and Lincoln Co bisects the western half of the map, marking the administrative divide in this sparsely populated region of public lands.
