1987 Map of Volcanic Hills East

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Volcanic Hills dominate this high-desert landscape in Esmeralda County, reflecting a period of mid-century mineral exploration and transit development in Nevada's Great Basin. The map details an environment defined by small-scale resource extraction, marked by numerous Prospect and Prospects sites scattered across the ridges. Evidence of human infrastructure is concentrated in the southern section, where a Landing Strip and a Gravel Pit indicate localized industrial activity. Geodetic markers like BM ll37 5108 and BM 5037 provide precise survey points across the arid terrain, while the Base Line serves as a critical boundary for land division. The presence of 4wd tracks suggests a network of primitive roads used by miners and surveyors navigating the slopes near Fish.
