1994 Map of Virginia City
USGS Topo · Published 1994About this map
Virginia City and its neighboring mining settlements of Gold Hill and Silver City define this Comstock Lode landscape as it appeared in the mid-1990s. The map reveals the intense density of 19th-century industrial silver mining, with the terrain deeply scarred by numerous shafts and open cuts. Heavy industrial work is evidenced by landmarks such as the Savage Mine, Chollar Mine, and the massive Imperial Pit. Beyond the pits and shafts, the social and institutional history of the district is preserved in several cemeteries including Masonic, Pioneer, and Cedar Hill.
