About this map

Bullfrog Hills mining history is etched into the landscape of this mid-1980s survey, showing a network of industrial extraction in the high desert of Nye County. The prominent Original Bullfrog Mine and the Gold Bar site stand as markers of the area's rich mineral heritage near Bullfrog Mtn. Across the arid expanse, an Old RR Grade traces the path of former rail transport that once connected these remote mining camps to the wider world.

To the west, the boundary of Death Valley National Monument separates the protected lands from the working desert of Sarcobatus Flat and the Amargosa Desert. Water sources like Currie Well and various springs highlight the scarce life-sustaining points in this environment. Scattered Ruins and numerous unnamed Prospects provide specific targets for those researching the physical remains of the region's mining booms.
