2011 Map of Lucky Boy

About this map

Lucky Boy Ranch sits as a central human landmark in this high-elevation landscape of Mineral County, where the terrain is defined by a complex network of canyons and seasonal watercourses. The map documents the transit routes through the mountains, notably Lucky Boy Pass Rd and Cory Canyon Rd, which thread through the drainage basins of Powell Creek and Corey Creek. Water sources are critical identifiers in this arid environment, marked by sites such as Rock Cabin Spring and Buller Spring near the base of Buller Mountain. The intricate topography is further revealed through named geographical features like North Canyon and Willow Canyon, which channel the flow of Alum Creek and Willow Creek toward the lower elevations. This modern survey captures the persistence of these named remote features and the enduring ranching and transit footprint in the Nevada desert.
