1900 Map of Silver Peak

About this map

Mineral Ridge stands as the industrial focal point of this late-nineteenth-century high desert landscape, hosting the Drinkwater Mine and a complex network of trails. To the west, the Pacific Borax Co. Mill sits near the edge of Fish Lake Valley, marking the early commercial extraction that defined the era. The settlement of Blair and the Silver Peak RR provide evidence of the infrastructure built to support the region's mining interests, while the vast Clayton Valley contains curious landmarks like Alcatraz Island and Goat Island within its arid expanse.
