2012 Map of The Geysers

About this map

Mercuryville and the industrial-residential complex of Buckman Mines Housing Unit Number Two define this portion of the Mayacamas Mountains during the early 21st century. The landscape is a network of geothermal activity and mining history, centered around The Geysers and the steep walls of Geyser Canyon. While the area is known for energy production, the map also identifies a legacy of recreation and rural landholding, including the Geysers Resort and several prominent family operations such as the Caldwell Ranch and Binkley Ranch. High elevations like Mahnke Peak and Geyser Peak provide the backdrop for a rugged topography drained by the Big Sulphur Cr and Little Sulphur Cr. The presence of Glenbrook and its associated Glenbrook Resort in the northeast suggests the area's dual identity as both a resource extraction hub and a destination for visitors drawn to the regional springs.
