About this map

Bullion sits within the high-elevation terrain of Elko County, marking a site deeply connected to the mineral history of the Piñon Range. This 2021 survey documents the complex topography of the region, where the rugged ridges give way to the expansive Dixie Flats. The presence of Potato Patch Spring and Emigrant Spring highlights the critical importance of water sources in this arid landscape, likely serving as essential stops for travelers or livestock throughout the area's development. To the east, the Dixie Hills rise above the drainage of Dixie Cr, showcasing a classic Great Basin environment of isolated peaks and broad basins. The map provides a contemporary record of these enduring geographic features and the lingering traces of human activity in the hills.
