1987 Map of Ghost Dance Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The Walker River Indian Reservation dominates the northern reaches of this Mineral County landscape, where the terrain climbs sharply into the high desert peaks of the Gillis Range. This 1987 provisional survey reveals a remote area defined by complex geological drainage systems, including Hu-Pui Wash, Ghost Dance Wash, and Wovoka Wash. The presence of several Prospects and a specific mineral survey point labeled Copper +6573 indicates an era of active prospecting and mining exploration in the mountains. South of the ridge line, the landscape opens into Buckley Flat, while narrow passages like Wildhorse Canyon and Gillis Canyon cut through the rugged slopes. The map also traces a network of 4wd tracks that provide the only access through this arid environment, connecting isolated mining claims to the broader basin.
