About this map

Kimberly and Riepetown anchor the eastern edge of this landscape, where the modern industrial footprint meets the high desert terrain of the Egan Range. This 2021 survey reveals a complex network of resource extraction and transit, evidenced by the presence of the Sunshine Dump and the winding path of State Hwy 485. The map traces the historical transport corridor of the Old Lincoln Hwy as it cuts through the mountains, providing a clear record of how regional infrastructure has evolved alongside the mining industry.

Water remains a critical element of the geography, with Giroux Springs and Lyons Spring providing rare relief in a landscape defined by ridges and flats. Named landmarks like Pilot Knob, Rusty Ridge, and The Big Bend offer navigational points for those exploring the backcountry trails, such as Egan Crest Trail A Trl and Egan Crest Trail B Trl. The drainage of White River Wash and Gleason Cr further defines the watershed in this corner of White Pine County.
