About this map

White Cloud Point stands as a prominent landmark in this high-elevation corner of White Pine County, where the desert floor meets the steep ascent of the mountain range. The 1980s landscape is defined by the arid expanse of Spring Valley to the west, punctuated by a significant geological Depression and several Dry Lakes. This survey captures a moment in Nevada's mining history, documenting a specific Mine Shaft and Prospect tucked within the folds of White Cloud Canyon. These features, along with Mike Springs, indicate the vital locations where water and minerals dictated human activity in an otherwise austere environment. The drainage patterns through White Cloud Basin and the lower Little Hills provide a clear view of the alluvial geography that characterizes this remote basin-and-range territory.
