1950 Map of Treasure Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Treasure Hill stands as the centerpiece of this high-altitude landscape, its slopes scarred by a dense concentration of late 19th-century mining infrastructure including the Hidden Treasure Mine, Stafford Shaft, and Wheeler Tunnel. The nearby Eberhardt (Site) and the Treasure Cem indicate the footprint of a once-active silver mining community that thrived before the turn of the century. To the east, the terrain transitions into the wide expanse of Jakes Valley, while the southern reaches are dominated by the Nevada National Forest. The map documents a complex system of natural springs and man-made water improvements like Deadman Res and Mustang Spr Res, which were critical for both the extraction industry and the livestock operations that followed. From the Mokomoke Mountains to the Ellison Ranger Sta, the survey captures the lingering infrastructure of the White Pine mining boom.
