2012 Map of Burnt Cabin Summit

About this map

Bruner Mill stands as a focal point for the mining and industrial history within this remote section of Nye County, located on the eastern edge of the quadrangle. This 2012 topographic survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents the high-elevation terrain of the Toiyabe National Forest area, where the landscape is defined by drainage networks and significant high points like Burnt Cabin Summit. In the southern portion of the sheet, Black Butte provides a prominent landmark among the complex system of forest roads and ephemeral watercourses. The network of unimproved roads and four-wheel-drive tracks suggests a landscape primarily used for resource extraction, ranching, and backcountry access, rather than concentrated settlement.
