2023 Map of Lucky Boy

About this map

The eastern slopes of the Wassuk Range define this high-desert terrain southwest of Hawthorne, where the industrial footprint of the Hawthorne Army Depot meets the protected lands of the Toiyabe National Forest. The landscape is a complex network of steep drainages, including Cottonwood Canyon and Stone Cabin Canyon, which descend toward the basin floor. This modern survey illustrates the persistent importance of water sources in the arid Great Basin, marking locations like Buller Spring and Rock Cabin Spring. Transportation routes through the heights are represented by Lucky Boy Pass Rd and the Garfield Trl, providing access across the rugged peaks near Buller Mtn. The map clearly delineates the transition from military-managed territory to public forest lands, documenting the modern management of this Mineral County wilderness.
