1989 Map of Whisky Flat

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Whisky Flat occupies the central basin of this Mineral County landscape, serving as a geographic anchor between the high peaks of the Wassuk Range to the west and the Garfield Hills to the east. This 1980s survey highlights a desert environment defined by critical water sources like Whisky Spring and Powell Canyon Spring, which are essential landmarks in an otherwise arid expanse. The southern reaches of the map are defined by the Excelsior Mountains and the northern boundary of the Toiyabe National Forest. Human activity is concentrated along the basin floor and canyon mouths, indicated by numerous Prospect sites and Gravel Pits, while the southwestern corner is marked by a Restricted Area, signaling military or government land use common in the Nevada desert during this era.
