1988 Map of Huntoon Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The Excelsior Mountains dominate this high-desert terrain within the Toiyabe National Forest of Mineral County. This 1980s provisional study records a landscape defined by its isolation and limited water sources, such as Granite Spring and Government Well. The mapping of numerous Prospects and Adits throughout the mountain range suggests a history of mineral exploration that persists even as the region was further sectioned by a Restricted Access Area in the northwest. To the east, the flat expanse of Huntoon Valley contrasts with the surrounding peaks, providing a level corridor for travel. The presence of Cow Camp at the valley's edge indicates the continued use of this remote Nevada interior for ranching, while a network of 4wd tracks serves as the primary means of navigating between Whisky Flat and the mountain passes.
