1956 Map of Whistler Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Mahogany Hills and Whistler Mtn dominate this 1956 landscape, forming a high-altitude barrier between Kobeh Valley and Diamond Valley. In the southeastern corner, the mining history of the Mountain Boy Range is evident through several named workings, including the Silver Lick Mine and the Price & Davis Mine. The transport network shows a clear transition between eras, featuring the Lincoln Highway cutting through the narrow pass at Devils Gate, while a lingering Railroad Grade traces the eastern edge of the mountains. This survey captures a remote ranching and mining environment where water sources like Stinking Spring and Hash Spring were vital landmarks for navigation and survival in the high desert of central Nevada.
