1982 Map of Tuscarora

About this map

The Tuscarora Mountains and Independence Mountains anchor this expansive mapping of northeastern Nevada, where the high desert terrain is defined by its deep mining heritage. Scattered across the ridges and canyons are numerous operations including the Falcon Mines, Silver Cloud Mine, and Ivanhoe Mine, alongside historic sites like Grand Prize Hill and Queen Mine. These labels reflect the extraction-based economy that drew settlers to this remote corner of the Great Basin during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
