2018 Map of Mill City

About this map

Mill City sits at a critical junction in Pershing County where the Humboldt River and modern transport corridors meet the basin-and-range topography. The landscape is defined by its water management and transit history, visible in the Pitt-Taylor Diversion Canal and the historic route of the Old Idaho Stage Rd. The intersection of industrial utility and desert geography is clear, with Tungsten Rd leading toward the mountains while the Humboldt River meanders through the central valley. To the east, the terrain rises into several canyons, including Dun Glen Canyon Rd and Stonehouse Canyon Rd, which lead away from the expansive Dun Glen Flat. This 2018 survey captures the region's enduring character as a transit hub, maintaining the spatial relationships of ranching roads like Willow Creek Ranch Rd and early pioneers' trails.
