2014 Map of Tybo

About this map

Tybo sits within the high desert landscape of the Hot Creek Range in Nye County, showing a geography shaped by historic mining and ranching interests. The presence of Air Shaft Ridge and Gilmore Gulch near the settlement point to the area's subterranean mineral history, while features like Charcoal Basin and Kiln Canyon suggest the early fuel-processing industries required to support local smelting operations. Water management in this arid environment is evidenced by a network of scattered resources such as Mule Shoe Spring, Cave Spring, and Tybo Spring. The map covers significant vertical relief, rising from the floors of Wide Valley and Dean Spring Valley to the summits of Rawhide Mtn, Peach Peak, and Amethyst Peak. This 2014 survey documents the enduring physical landmarks and names of a remote Nevada mining district as it appeared in the early 21st century.
