2021 Map of Mount Annie

About this map

Gabbs Valley occupies the southwestern reach of this topographical study, where the arid basin meets the foothills of the Monte Cristo Mountains. The terrain is defined by the sharp rise of Mt Annie and the elongated spine of Fissure Ridge, creating a landscape shaped by intermittent water flow and geothermal activity. The survey captures critical water sources in a desert environment, including Cold Springs and the geothermal Rawhide Hot Springs. The boundary between Mineral and Nye counties cuts vertically through the quadrangle, crossing Phillips Wash as it drains toward the valley floor. This 2021 update from the U.S. Geological Survey provides an exacting record of the springs and relief features that have long dictated movement and land use across this remote Nevada borderland.
