2021 Map of Whisky Flat

About this map

Whisky Flat and the surrounding high desert of Mineral County appear in this modern survey, characterized by rugged canyon terrain and vital water sources in an arid landscape. The northern portion is dominated by the Garfield Hills and the deep cuts of Johnston Canyon and Jim Canyon, while the southern reaches rise into the Excelsior Mountains. A notable portion of the southwestern quadrant is occupied by the Hawthorne Army Depot, abutting the Toiyabe National Forest. This coexistence of military reservation and public forest land underscores the region's historical and contemporary importance for national defense and natural resource management. Remote access is defined by specialized routes such as Whiskey Flat Ranch Rd and several pack trails, including the Dry Lake Trl and Slim Whisky Trl, which connect isolated springs like Whisky Spring and Large Williams Spring.
