2011 Map of Ferber Peak

About this map

Mining operations along the northern reaches of the Ferber Hills define this arid landscape on the border of Utah and Nevada. Early 21st-century geological data reveals a concentration of industrial activity concentrated near the high ground, with the Regent Mine and Knowlton Mine positioned along the drainage of Ferber Wash. Further south, a cluster of claims including the Big Chief Mine, Red Cloud Mine, Martha Washington Mine, and Ajax Mine suggests a localized history of mineral extraction. The terrain transitions from these jagged heights into broad, open expanses, specifically Ferber Flat to the northwest and White Sage Flat to the southeast. These wide basins are connected by narrow corridors like Box Canyon, illustrating the typical basin and range topography where water movement is seasonal and directed toward the alluvial flats.
