1969 Map of Yankee Blade

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Yankee Blade and the surrounding Reese River mining district are captured here in the late 1960s, showing a landscape defined by deep-canyon prospecting and high-altitude springs. The rugged terrain of the Toiyabe National Forest is honeycombed with vertical shafts and horizontal tunnels, marking a transition from 19th-century boom settlements like Amador and Midas to the specialized mining infrastructure of a later era. Notable workings such as the Silver Eagle Shaft, Chase Tunnel, and True Blue Tunnel concentrate along San Francisco Canyon and New York Canyon, where the topography dictated the placement of early silver and gold claims.
