2018 Map of Kinkaid NW

About this map

Gillis Range peaks dominate the southern half of this Mineral County landscape, where deep drainages like Paymaster Canyon and Sheeps Head Canyon carve through the high desert. The terrain transitions in the north toward the open expanse of Buckley Flat and the confined Win-Wan Valley, illustrating the classic basin and range geography of the region. This 2018 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey shows a sparsely developed area defined by its natural topography rather than human settlement. Features such as Rand Ridge and the ephemeral Nugent Wash serve as primary landmarks for navigating this arid environment. The map captures a contemporary snapshot of public lands, primarily managed under the Bureau of Land Management's survey system.
