This is Nevada Bureau of Mines Map 50,
Geology of North-Central Nevada
. Published in 1984, this is a great map of an area focused on Lander and Eureka counties, Nevada, with parts of the adjacent counties as well. Parts of Humboldt, Pershing, Elko, White pine and Churchill counties are shown on the map as well.
Nevada has some of the most complex geology in the US with many episodes of compression and extension as well as numerous intrusive and volcanic stages. The latest major events were extensional, chopping up the rocks into many mountain ranges and dissecting the geology in the process. Mapping even one range is difficult and always full of surprises, so putting together a compilation map of many mountain ranges was no small task. But they did it.
This map is centered on the principal gold regions of Nevada in Lander and Eureka counties. The complex geology is sensibly portrayed, and this map has a reputation in the region as a good rendition of the geology in a high level overview type of map. Nevada has a very active geology scene because of all the mining, so that is pretty good praise. If you are looking for a great start to understanding Nevada geology a bit better, this map should give you a pretty good idea. What is most evident is you study this map is how the same formations are often present across adjacent mountain ranges, having been pulled apart. The broad valleys filled with later alluvium also stand out as the demarcators of the large scale faults that reshaped the region.
A nice, detailed, colorful map that provides a good treatment of the region.
