1972 Map of Slate Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Slate Mine and the Eagleville Mine anchor this early 1970s record of a high-desert mining landscape where Mineral, Churchill, and Nye Counties converge. The topography is dominated by the steep rises of Slate Mountain and the Monte Cristo Mountains, where numerous unnamed prospects flank the established diggings. These industrial sites are linked by a network of unimproved roads and a Jeep Trail that threads through the elevation changes, illustrating the logistical challenges of Great Basin mineral extraction during this era.
