About this map

Buffalo Mountain and the surrounding high desert terrain dominate this Nevada survey, which captures the industrial and natural landscape during the mid-1960s with updates into the early 1980s. The map highlights the intersection of three counties—Humboldt, Pershing, and Lander—marked by boundary lines that traverse the arid basin of Buffalo Valley. Sparse but significant human activity is evident through resource extraction sites, including scattered Prospects and several Gravel Pits.

Water is a critical element in this landscape, represented primarily by Trenton Creek in the southeastern corner. A notable industrial marker is the Mill located near the Lander County line, accessible by a network of unimproved roads and a Jeep Trail. This cartographic record provides a clear look at the region's mining and ranching infrastructure before late-20th-century developments altered the Great Basin's remote expanses.
