1985 Map of West of Coffin Mtn

About this map

Pine Valley serves as the central geographic feature of this mid-1980s Eureka County survey, where the drainages of Little Pole Creek and Pony Creek descend toward the valley floor. The landscape reflects a legacy of both ranching and extraction, evidenced by the presence of a Corral and numerous mining sites such as a Strip Mine and various Prospects. The eastern portion of the map is defined by the Old Railroad Grade, which runs parallel to Pine Creek, marking the historical transportation corridor that once served the remote mining districts of central Nevada. Water remains a critical element for the area's survival, with scattered resources like Box Springs, a Well, and a Stock Tank positioned to support livestock. This 1985 data documents the intersection of natural watercourses like Hot Creek and Sheep Creek with the industrial scars of open-pit mining operations and prospecting pits.
