1893 Map of Wellington

About this map

Wellington serves as a central hub in this high-desert landscape where the West Walker River and East Walker River converge to form the main Walker River. Surveyed in the late 19th century, the map details a territory defined by agricultural settlements like Smith Valley and Mason Valley, contrasted with the industrial activity at Ludwig Mine and the Quarry near Topaz. The presence of The Colony and several named summits, including Mount Etna and Desert Creek Peak, highlights the varied uses of the land from early communal living to resource extraction.
