2011 Map of Indian Head Peak

About this map

Indian Head Peak rises as the central topographical feature of this Nevada landscape, commanding a vista over the arid terrain of Mineral County. This 2011 survey documents a geography defined by stark drainage patterns and high-relief landmarks, including Paymaster Canyon and the western descent of Blackrock Gulch. The map illustrates a transitional environment where the high peaks give way to lower alluvial plains, a landscape navigated by utility infrastructure and remote desert tracks. Functional corridors like Powerline Rd and Power Line Rd cross the southern portion of the quadrangle, indicating the modern utility network required to service this sparsely populated region. These labels provide essential reference points for understanding the historical and contemporary movement through this corner of the Great Basin.
