The settlement of Gold Butte sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape in Clark County, serving as a hub for the mining and ranching operations that defined this corner of Nevada in the early 1980s. The map documents a rugged interior partitioned by Tramp Ridge and Lime Ridge, with water sources like Perkins Spring and Bills Spring providing critical points of human activity in an otherwise arid environment. Evidence of local industry is clear through the presence of the Lincoln Mine, Black Jack Mine, and Ole Mine, alongside a primitive Landing Strip and numerous guzzlers installed for wildlife or livestock.
