About this map

Industrial and geological features define this high-desert landscape on the border of Churchill and Mineral Counties. The Nevada Scheelite Camp serves as a primary human landmark in the southern portion of the sheet, situated near the western slopes of the Sand Springs Range. This settlement, alongside scattered Prospect and Prospects sites, illustrates the region's focus on mineral extraction during the late twentieth century.

To the east, the terrain opens into the broad Fairview Valley and the smaller Little Bell Flat, separated from the peaks of Big Kasock Mtn by rugged elevation changes. Evidence of local infrastructure is found at the Water Tank Substation and various Water Tanks, which supported operations in this arid environment. Traces of the older settlement of Eagleville are visible in the southeast, connected to the surrounding peaks by a network of Jeep Trails and Contact Canyon.
