1968 Map of Tybo

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The Hot Creek Range dominates this late-1960s survey, revealing a landscape defined by isolated mining operations and Cold War-era federal activity in Nye County. The small settlement of Tybo sits tucked into Tybo Canyon, accompanied by a nearby Cem and evidence of older industry like the Charcoal Kilns. The map highlights the area's transition from traditional resource extraction, seen at the Old Dominion Mine and Keystone (Site), to mid-century scientific research at the Central Nevada Test Site Base Camp. To the east, the vast flats of Hot Creek Valley are marked by remote wells and a solitary Landing Strip. Significant landmarks such as Twin Peaks Amethyst Peak and Flagstaff Mtn overlook a complex network of canyons and springs that sustained early ranching and prospecting in this arid interior basin.
