2014 Map of Galena Canyon

About this map

Bannock stands as a primary point of interest in this high-elevation landscape of the Battle Mountain range, where steep canyons and prominent peaks dominate the terrain. The map detail reflects a history of resource extraction, centered around the Copper Basin and the winding Little Giant Mill Cr near Red Top Mtn. To the south, the terrain falls away toward the Reese River valley, though the map's focus remains on the series of deeply incised drainages like Galena Canyon, Philadelphia Canyon, and Box Canyon. These natural corridors provided the primary access routes for prospectors and ranchers alike. Significant landmarks such as Chesser Mtn and Elephant Head provide clear navigational markers across the rugged public land survey system grid, which organizes the vast reaches of t31n r43e and its neighboring townships.
