2010 Map of White Signal

About this map

Mining operations and ranching claims define the arid landscape around White Signal in this early 21st-century survey. The map reveals an intensive history of mineral extraction throughout the high-desert terrain, notably at the Gold Lake Mine and the Chapman Turquoise Mine. A network of unpaved roads and tracks, including Barka Rd and Johney Macdonald Rd, provides access to numerous named prospects and shafts. Distinctive geological features such as Saddle Mountain and the Hogback ridge dictate the drainage patterns of Walnut Creek and Cherry Creek. The presence of the 7 XV Ranch and its associated 7 XV Ranch Deposits suggests a mixed-use environment where cattle ranching and geological exploration coexist. To the west, the Three Sisters landform and Keese Canyon offer notable landmarks for those tracing the topographic character of this part of Grant County.
