About this map

Rawhide sits at the heart of this desert landscape, surrounded by the remnants of a once-active mining district at the southern end of the Sand Springs Range. The 1980 survey reveals the complex history of the area through labels like the National Mill (Ruins) and the Regent (Site), indicating the transient nature of boom-and-bust settlements in Mineral County. An Old Railroad Grade cuts across the terrain, marking the former transportation network that once serviced these remote operations.

The topography is punctuated by numerous named peaks and prospects, including Hooligan Hill, Balloon Hill, and Grutt Hill. To the west, the Walker River Indian Reservation Boundary defines the edge of the Rawhide Flats. This edition is particularly valuable for genealogists and historians tracing the physical footprint of the district, from the Rawhide Cemetery to specific geographic markers like Buckskin Mtn and Chicago Mtn.
