1950 Map of Wheeler Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Nevada National Forest dominates the high eastern landscape of this 1950 survey, where the Snake Range rises sharply above the desert floor. The map documents a rugged interior economy of isolated mines and ranches, notably Minerva and the nearby Shoshone Po. Mining activity is concentrated along the steep eastern slopes, featuring the St Lawrence Mine, Everett Mines, and the Tungsten Queen Mine. Education in this sparse region is anchored by the Consolidated Sch No 2 located near the ranching clusters.
