1988 Map of Gabbs
USGS Topo · Published 1988About this map
The town of Gabbs sits at the base of the Paradise Range in this late-1980s survey, serving as a hub for the extensive mining operations that define this section of the Toiyabe National Forest. The map documents a landscape heavily shaped by mineral extraction, from the large Open Pit Mine and Sierra Mine in the north to the Paradise Peak Mine and Davis Mine further south. These workings are connected by a network of unimproved roads and 4WD tracks that spider through Cottonwood Canyon and Sheep Canyon. To the west, the arid floor of Gabbs Valley is marked by Sand Dunes and the essential water source at Kellys Wells. Of particular interest to historians is the Brucite (Site) east of town, indicating a former settlement or facility associated with the area's industrial past, while local infrastructure like the Athletic Field and Landing Strip show the footprint of the resident community.
