1964 Map of Tempiute Mtn

About this map

Tempiute Mountain and the high ridges of the Timpahute Range dominate this mid-century survey of Lincoln County. The landscape is defined by its deep mining roots, most notably the Lincoln Mine and the Tempiute Historic Site, which sit on the western flanks of the range overlooking Sand Spring Valley. This area represents a classic Great Basin mining environment, where small-scale operations like the Schofield Mine and Andies Mine were established near vital water sources such as Penoyer Springs and Monte Spring. Evidence of high-altitude scientific and logistics activity is found at the Lincoln Mine PIBAL Station and a remote Landing Strip in the southern flats. Significant relief is mapped through Wildcat Canyon and peaks like Grants Peak, providing a detailed view of the rugged transition between the valley floors and the mineral-rich mountain summits.
