1987 Map of Star Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Humboldt City occupies a significant historical footprint in this portion of the Humboldt Range, surrounded by a dense network of silver and gold extraction sites from the late nineteenth century. The map reveals the intricate mining geography of Pershing County, where the high ridges are punctuated by named peaks like Star Peak and Indian Ikes Point. Industrial activity is evidenced by numerous mine shafts and operations including the Imlay Mine, Starlight Mine, and Queen of Sheba Mine. These sites are linked by a complex system of 4wd tracks that navigate the steep terrain between Florida Canyon and Bloody Canyon. The presence of tailings, a Radio Facility, and a Substation near the Pipeline reflects the modernization of this mineral-rich corridor, while the Cem near the old city site serves as a quiet reminder of the pioneer era's resident populations.
