2021 Map of Black Dyke Mountain

About this map

Black Dyke Mtn dominates this portion of Mineral County, rising as a prominent volcanic landmark within the high-altitude Great Basin landscape. The 2021 survey documents a region defined by stark transitions between the desert floor and rugged upland blocks, specifically where the Garfield Hills meet the expansive, marshy lowlands of Soda Spring Valley. This valley floor exhibits a complex hydrological signature, including the isolated Farrington Spring nestled against the western slopes. While the area is sparsely settled, the presence of Washington St and Garfield Flat Rd suggests the continued importance of these historical transit corridors through the basin. The map provides a contemporary record of land divisions across several townships, including t7n r34e, highlighting the enduring surveyor's grid in a territory where water sources like Farrington Spring historically determined the path of travel and settlement.
