2023 Map of Goldbanks Hills

About this map

Goldbanks Hills and the East Range anchor this portion of the Pershing County landscape, where the high desert terrain is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and secluded basins. The area is marked by distinctive topographical landmarks such as Table Mountain and Devils Elbow, which overlook the winding paths of Wilder Creek and Home Creek. The drainage patterns suggest a landscape shaped by intermittent flows, particularly evident where Bartomes Creek and Sweeney Canyon cut through the western slopes. Toward the southeast, the terrain opens into Pleasant Valley, near the site of Coyote Springs. This modern survey illustrates the enduring spatial relationship between these named geological features and the grazing or mining access points found in Johns Basin, reflecting the sparse but functional geography typical of Nevada's high basins.
