About this map

Fireball Ridge and the Truckee Range dominate this desert landscape, revealing a history of high-desert exploration and resource extraction. The map documents an area defined by geological extremes, from the thermal activity at Hot Springs on the edge of the Hot Springs Flat to the mineral prospects tucked into narrow canyons. Mining activity is evident through numerous shafts, prospects, and a tunnel along the ridge, as well as the established Jay Bird Mine in the northern reaches.
