1953 Map of Spruce Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Spruce Mountain Ridge dominates this mid-century landscape in Elko County, serving as a high-altitude spine between the broad basins of Clover Valley and Independence Valley. This area reflects a significant era of Great Basin mineral exploration and high-desert ranching, evidenced by the cluster of workings concentrated around the peak of Spruce Mountain. The townsite of Sprucemont is recorded here alongside numerous active and dormant claims, including the Black Forest Mine, Monarch Mine, and Ada H Mine.
