1986 Map of Yerington SE

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The East Walker River snakes through the high desert of western Nevada, defining a landscape shaped by hydrology and mineral extraction in the mid-1980s. This survey captures the transition from the irrigated agricultural grounds of the Mason Valley in the northwest to the arid, elevated terrain of the Cambridge Hills and Gray Hills. In the northeast corner, a cluster of prospects, mine shafts, and adits suggests the area's legacy of prospecting, concentrated near the border of Lyon and Mineral counties. The river's path is monitored at a gaging station, highlighting the importance of water management in this environment. To the south, the terrain levels out into the broad Pine Grove Flat, while the presence of a Gravel Pit near the river indicates contemporary resource use alongside older mining works.
