2018 Map of Huntoon Valley

About this map

Toyiabe National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape of Mineral County, defined by the stark transition from the Excelsior Mountains to the arid basin of Huntoon Valley. The terrain is characterized by a network of specialized access routes, including the Hontone Mine Spur and the Water Tank Short Cut, which suggest a history of resource extraction and range management. In the northwest, the boundary of the Hawthorne Army Depot touches the edge of Whisky Flat, marking a significant military presence near these remote peaks. The survival of specific landmarks like Granite Spring and the Lip Vabm survey point provides critical orientation for those navigating this isolated section of the Great Basin.
