2012 Map of Jefferson

About this map

Jefferson (historical) serves as a focal point for this high-desert landscape in Nye County, marking a site where mining history once pulsed through the canyons. The map details a rugged drainage network including Jefferson Creek and Shoshone Creek, framed by massive features like Spanish Peak and Bull Frame Mountain. This 2012 survey illustrates the remote character of the Toiyabe Range, where high-altitude markers such as Barcelona Summit and Jefferson Summit overlook a terrain carved by Slaughterhouse Canyon and Berlin Canyon. The presence of several named springs, such as Pipe Organ Spring and Sage Hen Spring, indicates the vital water sources that dictated movement through this arid region. Traces of past habitation and seasonal utility remain through labels like Flowers Camp and the winding paths of the Natl Forest Develop Road 010 RD, providing a precise record of the land's contemporary access points and historical markers.
