1893 Map of Wellington

About this map

Smith Valley and Mason Valley form the agricultural and ranching heart of this high-desert region during the late 19th century, oriented around the diverging branches of the Walker River. The settlement of Wellington serves as a central hub where the West Walker River enters the valley floor from the southern mountains. To the north, industrial activity is marked by the Ludwig Mine in the Singatze Range, while high-altitude outposts like Pine Grove and Rockland are found in the eastern mining districts near Mount Etna.
