About this map

Indian Head Peak and the southern reaches of the Gillis Range dominate this portion of Mineral County. This arid landscape is defined by the broad expanse of Soda Spring Valley, which sits between the high ground of the Gillis Range to the north and the Garfield Hills to the south. The terrain is marked by deep alluvial fans and drainage systems, including the prominent Paymaster Canyon and the smaller Blackrock Gulch tucked near Martinez Hill.

Transportation through this high desert environment is concentrated along the corridor of Highway 95 and the utility-focused Power Line Rd. The map illustrates the classic Basin and Range topography, where steep rocky outcrops give way to expansive valley floors. This 2018 survey captures the region's sparse infrastructure and its focus on industrial and transportation thoroughfares through the Nevada desert.
