1988 Map of Gillis Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Walker River Indian Reservation lands dominate this central Nevada landscape, where the Walker River flows into the northern reaches of Walker Lake. The shoreline is marked by Pelican Point, providing a glimpse into the hydrography of the region as it was recorded in the mid-1980s. To the east, the topography rises sharply into the Agai Pah Range and Gillis Hills, terrain characterized by deep cuts like Wildhorse Canyon. Human infrastructure is sparse but critical to the era, defined by the Southern Pacific railroad corridor and utility routes including a Telephone line and Transmission Line that skirt the base of the mountains. Several Prospect markings in the high country suggest the mineral exploration history common to the Mineral County area, while the presence of an Alkali Flat north of the river highlights the arid, terminal-basin environment.
