About this map

Dyer Mines sit prominently on the northern slopes of Dyer Mountain, marking a high-elevation landscape defined by extraction and recreation. This 2011 survey illustrates the remote character of the Taylor Mountain Plateau and the watershed of Big Brush Creek, which winds southward toward Gompers Canyon. The settlement of Bullionville serves as a central reference point in an area where water management is critical, evidenced by the Oaks Park Reservoir and its associated Oaks Park Dam at the northwestern corner.

The map reveals a network of Forest Service roads, such as FS RD 018 and FS RD 020, providing access to numerous springs and hollows. Named sites like Parson City Spring, Kabell Spring, and Henline Spring suggest a history of prospecting and ranching, further supported by the presence of the Brush Creek Corral. From the Brush Creek Canyon Overlook to the various campgrounds, the map documents a transition from industrial mining roots to modern forest management and outdoor utility.
