2021 Map of Indian Head Peak

About this map

Indian Head Peak rises as a prominent landmark within the northern reaches of the Gillis Range, defining a landscape of high desert terrain in Mineral County. To the south, the Garfield Hills frame the broad expanse of Soda Spring Valley, a region characterized by its drainage patterns and alluvial fans. The map reveals the logistical infrastructure of the modern West, specifically the presence of Power Line Rd which traverses the valley floor, cutting across the established section lines of the Public Land Survey System. Drainage features such as Paymaster Canyon and Blackrock Gulch illustrate the erosional forces at work near Martinez Hill. This 2021 survey provides a clear look at the topographic relief between the peaks and the valley basins, detailing the complex network of ephemeral washes that feed into the central sink.
