About this map

Buckingham Camp and Bannock sit within this high-desert basin in the northern Shoshone Range, illustrating the persistent footprint of mountain settlements in central Nevada. The landscape is defined by deep drainages such as Galena Canyon and Philadelphia Canyon that cut through the rugged slopes of Chesser Mtn and Red Top Mtn. To the north, the terrain rises toward Long Peak and the distinctive Elephant Head formation. The area's shift from industrial roots to modern recreation is evident in the presence of the Little Giant Mill-Copper Basin Mtn. Bike Trail near the Copper Basin region. Hydrological features like Duck Cr and the Reese River serve as the primary water sources for this arid environment, connecting the canyons to the broader valley floor.
