About this map

Marietta sits on the northern edge of a massive mineral flat in this late 1960s survey of the Nevada desert. This settlement, accompanied by a small Cem and a Landing Strip, serves as a hub for the various extractive activities visible across the landscape. Extensive Tailings deposits and a Gravel Pit highlight the mining focus of the era, while a lone Prospect is noted high in the Excelsior Mountains to the northeast.

Water sources are the defining features of this arid terrain, with several vital points like Company Spring, Rock House Spring, and German Spring scattered along the transition from the mountains to the marsh floor. The vast Teels Marsh basin dominates the central topography, flanked by shifting Sand Dunes and traversed by a rugged Jeep Trail that provided the primary access for mineral exploration and local travel during this period.
