2018 Map of Broken Hills

About this map

Broken Hills sits at the intersection of several county lines in this high-desert region of Nevada, where the West Gate Range meets the northern extent of the Monte Cristo Mountains. The landscape is defined by its arid basins and volcanic terrain, notably Gabbs Valley and the broad expanse of Bell Flat to the northwest. Modern state route 361 follows the natural corridor carved by Gabbs Wash, providing a vital transit link through the basin. Local water sources like Jack O'Connor Spring reflect the sparse but essential landmarks necessary for navigation and survival in this environment. The map details the complex boundaries where Churchill, Mineral, and Nye counties converge, illustrating how topography like Ball Rock dictates the administrative divisions of this remote interior.
