LONE MOUNTAIN, ESMERALDA COUNTY, NEV. 
A station of the Coast Survey on a prominent, well-known peak in a 
dry, desert country, 60 miles byroad in a southerly direction from 
Cloverdale and 40 miles easterly from Columbus. The nearly 
extinct mining camps of Montezuma and Silver Peak lie 25 miles 
southwesterly and southeasterly, respectively, from the mountain. 
The geodetic point is marked by a cross on a one-half inch copper bolt 
leaded in a drill hole in a solid ledge of slate, around which is the 
usual stone and brick foundation pier for theodolite, surrounded by a 
stone wall 15.5 feet in diameter, with an opening to the northeast.
