About this map

The Rawhide settlement and its surrounding hills dominate this landscape along the boundary of Churchill and Mineral Counties. This area is defined by its mining-era legacy, where the topography is dotted with family-named peaks and industrial landmarks. The cluster of elevations including Hooligan Hill, Balloon Hill, and Murray Hill suggests a dense concentration of early 20th-century activity, while the presence of the Rawhide Cem nearby serves as a quiet reminder of the community that once thrived in this arid environment.

To the north and east, the terrain rises into the Sand Springs Range and the Barnett Hills. The drainage of Stingaree Gulch cuts through the eastern portion of the map, illustrating the natural watercourses that shaped local travel and prospecting. Other prominent landmarks such as Buckskin Mountain and Chicago Mountain provide distinct navigational points in a region otherwise characterized by its isolated high-desert character and complex township and range divisions.
