About this map

Gabbs Valley and the distinctive Cobble Cuesta define the arid landscape of this 1970s survey along the border of Nye Co and Mineral Co. The map reveals a region focused on resource extraction and water management, centered around the drainage of Gabbs Wash and Finger Rock Wash. Sparse but critical infrastructure is documented, including water sources such as Derringer Well and Finger Rock Well No 2, which likely served both grazing and mining interests.

Prospectors and mining historians will find several labeled Mines and Prospects scattered across the desert terrain, connected by a network of unimproved roads and a Jeep Trail. These markings indicate the continued industrial interest in the valley decades after initial exploration, providing a spatial record of specific dig sites and exploratory shafts that may be of interest to those studying Nevada's mining genealogy.
