About this map

The Goshute Indian Reservation spans the western slopes of this high-altitude landscape, where the jagged peaks of the Deep Creek Range rise sharply from the basin floor. This 1970s survey captures a wilderness dominated by dramatic vertical relief, culminating at Ibapah Peak and Haystack Peak. The presence of the Queen of Sheba Mine and several prospects suggests a history of mineral exploration tucked into the steep drainages of Queen of Sheba Canyon and Erickson Canyon.

A network of Pack Trails and 4wd tracks provides the only access to the interior, tracing the routes once used by prospectors and local inhabitants across Red Mountain. Water sources are vital but dispersed, with named features like Dads Spring, Chicken Springs, and the perennial flow of Trout Creek marking the few reliable points in an otherwise arid terrain. Near the eastern edge, isolated Ruins indicate former sites of human habitation or resource extraction now weathered by time.
