About this map

The high desert basins of the Black Rock Range and Jackson Mountains define this 1960s survey of the Nevada-Oregon-California borderlands. Ranching and mining interests dominate the landscape, with numerous family-named outposts like the Quinn River Crossing Ranch, Soldier Meadow, and Ninemile Ranch punctuating the vast valleys. The map documents a diverse mineral economy, from the mercury-producing Mcadoo Mine to the gold-rich Ashdown Mine and various uranium claims. Federal land management is prominent, showing the expansive Sheldon National Antelope Refuge and the Summit Lake Indian Reservation. Geothermal features such as Dyke Hot Spring and Double Hot Springs reveal the volcanic nature of the terrain, while the U S Naval Gunnery Range indicates the region's mid-century military utility.
