1891 Map of Wellington

About this map

Smith Valley and Mason Valley are the agricultural and transit anchors of this 1890 survey, where the West Walker River cuts through the high desert terrain of the California-Nevada border. The map captures a period of early mineral exploration and scattered ranching settlements, with the Ludwig Mine and a local Quarry indicating the industrial activities of the era. High-elevation points like Mount Etna and Desert Creek Peak dominate the skyline, while the transition from the Pine Nut Mountains to the broad Antelope Valley illustrates the region's varied geography.
