1971 Map of Silver King Well

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

High-altitude desert basins and mountain ridges define this 1971 survey of eastern Nevada, where the Egan Range and Schell Creek Range enclose the dramatic Cave Valley. This is a landscape where water is the primary arbiter of human presence, marked by a network of isolated sites like Silver King Well, Griswold Well, and Lewis Well. Evidence of early mining and habitation appears near the eastern foothills, specifically at the Silver King Mine, adjacent to a cluster of Ruins and a lone Grave. The reliance on ephemeral water sources is clear, with labels noting the condition of Wolf Hole Spring and the placement of a Water Tank to support the remote activities of the era. The terrain is navigated primarily by a sparse network of Jeep Trails, underscoring the isolation of the Lincoln and Nye County borderlands.
