About this map

Mt Tobin dominates this Pershing County landscape, rising at the southern edge of the Tobin Range. The terrain transitions from the high peaks of the range into the expansive Grass Valley and Pleasant Valley to the north and west. This 2014 survey documents a rugged mining and ranching geography where water sources like Summit Spring and ephemeral drainages such as Elder Cr and Jim Cr are vital landmarks.

Evidence of the area's industrial history is found in the southwest, where Quicksilver Mines Rd cuts through the Goldbanks Hills, hinting at the mineral extraction that has long defined this part of Nevada. Navigation through the complex topography relies on established tracks like Siard Rd, which provides access through Shell Canyon and Siard Canyon. The map preserves the specific canyon names, including Cottonwood Canyon, which serve as crucial reference points for local history and geographic orientation in this sparsely populated region.
