1987 Map of Thunder Mtn

About this map

Thunder Mountain rises as the dominant topographic landmark in this 1987 survey of central Nevada, overlooking the broad expanse of the Ralston Valley. The landscape is defined by resource extraction and water infrastructure, anchored by the Midway Mine and several industrial Gravel Pits and Borrow Pits scattered near the foothills of the San Antonio Mountains. The technical development of the region is evident through the presence of a Transmission Line and a prominent Aqueduct traversing the valley floor. Water management is a critical theme of this desert environment, marked by the Rye Patch Pumping Station, various Wells, and storage Tanks. This map captures the industrial character of Nye County during the late 20th century, where the rugged terrain meets the specialized infrastructure required for high-desert mining and utility operations.
