Additional Information
Produced and published by the iconic American mapmaker Read McNally with their signature aesthetic, this depiction of Nevada in 1893 shows the state in a period of growth, transition, and development; this is an authentic piece of cartographical history. Silver and other precious metal mining had spurred eager speculators and miners to head west in an attempt to build their fortunes. Nevada’s harsh geography made travel to the region difficult, though the expansion of railroad lines through the 19th century had allowed greater access and the formation of towns to supply miners.
Immigrants to Nevada came from diverse backgrounds, including Native Americans, French, Portuguese, and Chinese settlers taking advantage of loose homestead laws and an abundance of open land for cattle ranching or mining speculation. The history of Nevada in the 19th century was one of boom and bust as mineral discoveries would bring a predictable flood of population which would sustain rough and tumble mining towns until the minerals fields played out.
The 1859 Comstock Lode discovery opened up the era of silver mining and earned the state the nickname ‘The Silver State,’ though because of it achieving statehood during the Civil War, it was also referred to ‘The Battleborn State.’ The Eureka and Palisade Railroad was completed ion 1875 and gave access to export silver ore to the first transcontinental railroad, which was completed in 1869. These lines were built in an attempt to decrease the reliance on uncomfortable, slow stagecoaches to reach remote mining locations.
