1979 Map of Simon

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The high-desert mining settlement of Simon sits at the western base of the Cedar Mountains in this late 1970s survey of the Nevada interior. This region, straddling the border of Nye and Mineral Counties, is defined by its deep reliance on scarce water sources and mineral extraction. The landscape is punctuated by numerous mines and several prospects, including the Warrior Mine located in the northern reaches near the Ione Valley. High elevations like Simon Mtn and Little Pilot Peak overlook a network of jeep trails that connect vital watering holes such as Humdinger Spring, Lou Spring, and Simon Spring. The presence of the Douglas Spring label indicates the ephemeral nature of water in this arid environment, while the Monte Cristo Valley opens to the south below Cedar Summit.
