1990 Map of Tungsten Mtn.

About this map

Tungsten Mtn Mine sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape, anchored by the namesake Tungsten Mtn within the Clan Alpine Mountains. This 1990 provisional map documents the rugged topography of Churchill County, where steep drainage systems like Bernice Canyon and Augusta Canyon descend toward the broad Edwards Creek Valley. The terrain is defined by a series of springs and seasonal water sources, such as Bob Spring and Smooth Canyon Spring, which were vital for mining operations and transit through the arid corridor. To the east, the valley floor transitions into a large Dry Lake bed, marked by a distinct Shoreline that traces the ancient margins of the basin. The presence of Shoshone Pass in the northeast suggests historical movement through the range, connecting the interior canyons to the surrounding flats.
