1990 Map of Goldbanks Hills

About this map

Mining activity in the Goldbanks Hills defines this high-desert landscape in Pershing County. Numerous prospects, a mine shaft, and a mine tunnel prospect are scattered across the terrain, most notably an Open Pit Mine (Quick Silver Mine). The drainage network centers on Peavine Creek and Wilder Creek, which flow toward the broad expanses of Grass Valley and Pleasant Valley Creek. The topography is anchored by prominent landmarks such as Table Mountain in the northwest and Squaw Butte near the center. The map also reveals localized features like Coyote Springs and the distinctive bend known as Devils Elbow, reflecting the isolated nature of these hills before modern development altered the surface and drainage patterns of the Great Basin.
