About this map

Mining and ranching activity define this remote section of the Grant Range within the Humboldt National Forest. Small-scale extraction is evident through numerous Prospects, Adits, and a Mine Shaft concentrated primarily within Troy Canyon. These workings suggest a period of intense individual prospecting, supported by water sources like Little Meadows Spring and Troy Creek.

To the south, the landscape transitions toward the Bordoli Ranch, a lone outpost of settlement near Bordoli Spring. The map documents quiet markers of the past, including a Cem and a lone Grave, which offer specific points of interest for genealogists tracing early families in this part of Nye County. High elevation points such as Troy Peak and Timber Mountain tower over the network of 4WD trails that connect these isolated sites.
