About this map

Agai Pah Hills and the Gillis Range dominate this high-desert landscape in Mineral County, Nevada. As of the mid-1980s, the area reflects a significant history of mineral exploration, evidenced by a high density of mining-related features. The Buckley Mine is a focal point of activity near Buckley Flat, accompanied by specialized features such as the Prospects Adit and various unnamed adits. The terrain is characterized by steep elevation changes, with Ryan Canyon cutting through the southeastern portion of the sheet. Utility infrastructure is present in the form of a Trans Line crossing the southwestern corner, indicating the connectivity of this mining district to larger regional networks. This provisional survey provides a precise look at the industrial footprint of small-scale mining operations and geologic prospecting before modern site reclamations altered the surface.
