2018 Map of Mineral Hill

About this map

Mineral Hill serves as a focal point in this high-desert landscape, where the Sulphur Spring Range dominates the terrain along the border of Elko and Eureka counties. The geography is defined by a series of significant canyons including Slaughterhouse Canyon, Bruffey Canyon, and Cave Canyon. Water sources are critical features in this arid environment, marked by sites such as Bruffey Hot Springs, Pratt Springs, and Matthew Springs. Evidence of historical industry and transit is grounded in the presence of the Diamond Mine and the transit corridor along Union Summit Rd. The map reveals a land utilized for its mineral potential and natural springs, with landmarks like Cave Hill and Union Mtn providing prominent navigational points across the basins and ranges of central Nevada.
