1981 Map of Sulphur

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Western Pacific railroad corridor defines the northern reaches of this high-desert landscape, where the small settlement of Sulphur sits near the crossing of the Humboldt and Pershing county line. The terrain is characterized by the prominent Kama Mountains, a range punctuated by Rosebud Peak and carved by the deep Rosebud Canyon. This 1981 survey documents a landscape heavily influenced by resource extraction and sparse water sources, showing a network of 4wd trails connecting various prospects and established sites like the Rosebud Mine and Double O Mine. Water is a critical and mapped commodity here, with several reliable points including Sulphur Springs, Wild Rose Spring, and Barrel Springs providing necessary lifeblood for the surrounding cattle country and mining operations. A remote Landing Field near the tracks and a Gaging Station on Rabbithole Creek further illustrate the infrastructure required to manage this isolated Nevada interior.
