1986 Map of Whistler Mtn

About this map

Whistler Mountain dominates the western half of this Nevada landscape, transitioning sharply into the wide, flat expanse of Diamond Valley to the east. The terrain is defined by a sparse but essential network of water sources, including Stinking Spring, Hash Spring, and Trap Corral Spring, which likely served as critical hubs for regional livestock and travel. An Old RR Grade cuts through the southeastern corner of the valley, signaling the area's historical connection to early mining or transport infrastructure. The valley floor is dotted with numerous wells and a notable Slough, indicating a reliance on groundwater in this arid environment. Several prospects and a Gravel Pit appear along the mountain's lower slopes, documenting the persistent search for mineral wealth that characterized this part of Eureka County during the late 20th century.
