2011 Map of Mable Mountain

About this map

Mable Mountain stands as a primary landmark within this high-desert portion of Mineral County. The terrain is defined by the sharp relief of the Garfield Hills, where drainages and elevation contours reveal a landscape shaped by arid processes. Isolated water resources are scarce, represented here by the Garfield Reservoir Number Three, a feature that suggests managed water control for mining or ranching interests common to this region of Nevada. Modern infrastructure is limited to the crossing of Garfield Flats Rd and the utility corridor followed by Powerline Rd, which cut through the open basin floor. This 2011 survey documents a sparsely populated but strategically utilized territory where transportation and water management are the primary indicators of human presence in the desert interior.
