About this map

Leeville and the industrial infrastructure of the modern mining era dominate this landscape in the Tuscarora Mountains. Situated at the intersection of NV-766 and the Newmont-Barrick Rd, this area reflects the high-intensity operations of the Carlin Trend. The rugged topography is defined by significant elevations such as Richmond Mtn and Popovich Hill, which rise above the surrounding drainages of Cottonwood Creek and Rodeo Creek.

To the west, the Little Boulder Basin provides a distinct geographical break from the steep-walled Sheep Creek Canyon and Simons Canyon. This 2014 survey captures the region's character as a specialized industrial corridor where transport networks are closely tied to the geological potential of the mountains, contrasting the sharp natural relief of the peaks against the developed roadways serving the mines.
