About this map

Gooseberry Mill and its associated Gooseberry Tailings Reservoir stand out as the primary industrial markers in this arid landscape. Located north of the more developed residential grid near Stagecoach, the mill site represents the persistent mining activity characteristic of this part of Nevada. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Cinder Mountain and San Juan Hill, which separate several significant drainages including Martin Canyon and Blackhawk Canyon.

Water sources are vital and scarce, marked on this survey as specific points of interest for those tracking historical land use. Features like Biddleman Spring, Corral Spring, and Cooney Reservoir punctuate the landscape, indicating where early settlers or industrial operations secured their supply. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, a developing street network including Wildflower Rd and Cottontail Rd shows the expansion of rural residential areas near the older settlement of Stagecoach.
