About this map

Silver Eagle Shaft and the North Silver King Mine anchor this high-elevation landscape within the Toiyabe National Forest, documenting the intense subterranean exploration of the late 1960s. The map reveals a dense network of mining infrastructure focused on the canyons, including the Chase Tunnel, True Blue Tunnel, and the Morris and Caple Tunnel. These features, clustered around San Francisco Canyon and New York Canyon, illustrate the persistent search for minerals in the Great Basin.
