1979 Map of Mt. Ferguson

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Mount Ferguson dominates the high ground of the Gabbs Range in this Mineral County survey based on 1970s fieldwork. This arid landscape is defined by its vital water sources, with numerous named points such as Paint Rock Spring, Indian Spring, and McGregor Spring scattered through the high elevations and canyon floors. The map reveals the extraction history of the region, noting several Mine and Prospects sites, particularly near the southern portion of the quadrangle. High-altitude travel is traced through Rhyolite Pass, while the desert floor is marked by the expansive Petrified Wash. The transition from the Gabbs Valley up into the complex drainage systems of Paint Rock Canyon and Redrock Canyon highlights the topographic isolation of these mining and prospecting districts in the late twentieth century.
