2012 Map of Tybo

About this map

Tybo sits along the northern edge of this high-desert terrain, where mining history is evident in landforms like Air Shaft Ridge. The landscape is defined by the Hot Creek Range, with landmarks such as Amethyst Peak, Twin Peaks, and Hidden Mountain overlooking the deep drainages of Cottonwood Canyon and Kiln Canyon. Settlement in this arid stretch of Nye County is sparse, anchored by the Butterfield Ranch and a network of essential water sources including Tybo Spring, Mule Shoe Spring, and Willow Spring. To the south, the topography shifts into the broad expanse of Wide Valley and the Charcoal Basin, flanked by the heights of Rawhide Mountain and Peach Peak. This survey provides a precise modern record of the primitive roads and topographic features that have sustained ranching and mining efforts in this corner of the Great Basin for generations.
