1972 Map of Wonder Mountain

About this map

The Clan Alpine Mountains define this high-desert mining landscape in Churchill County, showing a network of historic silver-mining sites that were largely inactive by the early 1970s. The topographic data captures the remnants of the boom era, specifically the Wonder (Site) and its associated Wonder Mine, alongside a sprawling area of Tailings. Further north, the townsite of Hercules (Site) sits at the mouth of Hercules Canyon, while Victor (Site) is located near Dickey Peak. These labels indicate once-thriving camps that served the district's precious metal deposits.
