2014 Map of Gold Point

About this map

Gold Point serves as the focal point of this high-desert landscape in Esmeralda County, characterized by its grid of named streets including Horn St, Wiley Rd, and Orleans St. The terrain is dominated by prominent rises such as Mt Dunfee and Slate Ridge, which transition into the drainage of Oriental Wash to the south. Historically significant locations like Tokop and Old Camp are situated amongst the foothills of the Gold Mountain Range and the Amargosa Range. The map details a high-elevation environment where Gold Mtn Peak and Hanging Mesa overlook the Lida Valley to the north. This survey documents the intersection of legacy mining-era settlements and the natural topographical barriers of the Nevada desert.
