About this map

Mina sits at the eastern edge of this high-desert landscape in Mineral County, serving as a primary point of reference along the corridor of Highway 95. The terrain is dominated by the steep rises of the Garfield Hills and the prominent peak of Black Dyke Mtn, which towers over the surrounding basins. This 2014 survey illustrates the stark contrast between the rugged uplands and the expansive, arid stretches of Soda Spring Valley and Garfield Flat.

Water sources are scarce in this environment, with Farrington Spring marked in the northwest as a vital geographic landmark. The map detail reflects a modern infrastructure of utilities and transit, traced by Powerline Rd and Garfield Flat Rd. These routes cut through the open public lands, providing access for those managing the remote reaches of the Great Basin or tracing the historical movement through the valley floors.
