2011 Map of Jackson Spring

About this map

Jackson Mines and the nearby Durham Mine anchor this high-desert landscape in the northeastern corner of Nevada and western Utah. Situated along the eastern edge of the Tecoma Valley, these extraction sites are connected by a network of unimproved roads that trace the foot of the mountains. The geography here is defined by scarce water sources like Jackson Spring and Kilgore Spring, which likely dictated the placement of early mining operations and transport routes. To the east, Kilgore Ridge rises above the valley floor, marking the transition from the low-lying basin to the more complex terrain of the Pilot Range. The presence of the Queen of the West Mine further suggests the historical mineral interest that shaped this specific portion of the Great Basin during its development.
