2011 Map of Dun Glen

About this map

Dun Glen (historical) serves as the focal point of this Pershing County landscape, marking the site of a once-thriving mining hub in the northern reaches of the East Range. The presence of the Essex Quartz Mill near the head of Dun Glen Canyon underscores the area's rich prospecting history, while topographic features like Auld Lang Syne Peak dominate the high ground. Water sources were critical in this arid environment, evidenced by named points such as Jacobs Well, Butcher Spring, and Potato Patch Spring. The map details the drainage systems of Barbers Creek and Willow Creek, which carve through the high desert terrain. To the southeast, the terrain transitions toward Rockhill and Rockhill Canyon, while numerous deep cuts like Orofino Canyon and Emigrant Canyon suggest the paths used by early miners and travelers moving through these mineral-rich mountains.
