2021 Map of Tybo

About this map

Tybo sits at the northern edge of this high-desert landscape in the Hot Creek Range, reflecting a legacy of mining and resource extraction in Nye County. The terrain is defined by steep ridges and deep canyons, where features like Air Shaft Ridge and Gilmore Gulch suggest the area's subterranean history. Prospectors and early settlers would have relied on a series of vital water sources scattered across the dry slopes, including Tybo Spring, Mule Shoe Spring, and Willow Spring. High summits such as Amethyst Peak, Twin Peaks, and Peach Peak dominate the skyline, while specialized landmarks like Charcoal Basin hint at the industrial processes required to fuel local operations. The map also traces the topography into Dean Spring Valley and through Rawhide Canyon, providing a detailed look at the complex drainage systems and elevations of this central Nevada region.
