About this map

The high-desert mining town of Gabbs is the primary settlement on this Nevada sheet, situated at the edge of the expansive Gabbs Valley. The map details the residential and industrial footprint of the community, including streets such as Basic Ave and Basic Waterline Rd, reflecting the town's origins as a company town supporting magnesium mining. To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the Paradise Range and the Toiyabe National Forest, where steep drainages like Tungsten Canyon and Granite Canyon hint at the region's mineral-rich geology.

Water sources are scarce in this arid landscape, marked by isolated points such as Willow Spring, Derringer Spring, and Peppercorn Spring. To the south, the terrain is dominated by the prominence of Paradise Peak and several branches of Sheep Canyon. This 2018 survey provides a clear view of the modern infrastructure and topographical features of this remote mining district, from the small outpost at Brucite to the long stretches of Poleline Rd crossing the valley floor.
