1972 Map of Slate Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Slate Mountain anchors this high-desert landscape in the early 1970s, where several counties—Churchill, Mineral, and Nye—converge. The area is defined by its extraction history, evidenced by workings such as the Slate Mine, Eagleville Mine, and King Mine scattered among the peaks and canyons. This part of the Monte Cristo Mountains reveals a network of Jeep Trails navigating between high summits like Mt Anna and the broad, arid stretches of Bell Flat. The topography shows a distinct shift from the steep mineralized slopes to the low-lying Sand Dunes near the southern boundary. These labels represent a transitional era in Nevada mining, where older claims were being re-examined by a new generation of prospectors utilizing motorized access across the complex desert floor.
