1980 Map of Mount Annie

Evidence of historical land use and exploration is found in the scattered Prospects and a singular Prospect located in the southern Black Hills. Isolated infrastructure like Mud Windmill and the Lower Phillips Well in Gabbs Valley point to the remote operations required to manage livestock or mining claims in this basin-and-range country. The presence of a long-distance Pipeline and various Jeep Trails underscores the region's role as a thoroughfare for resource management and desert navigation during the late twentieth century.
