1959 Map of Tonopah

About this map

Tonopah serves as the central hub of this mid-century Nevada landscape, where the Great Basin's character is defined by north-south mountain ranges and broad desert valleys. The map documents the region's transition from early 20th-century mining booms to a mid-century era of ranching and specialized mineral extraction. Evidence of the mining legacy is found in the labels for Berlin and Grantsville, along with the Gold Hill Mill and the Liberty Mine.
