I saw that he recently sold the property to Restoration Hardware.
Here is my USGS-inspired map of the area... a map of a magical place I've known.

I've always been fascinated and inspired by old USGS maps of the American west, especially the places where I grew up
Here's an 1886 version of Granite Range, NV, and mine-- a USGS-inspired map incorporating the current landscape and more accurate and detailed terrain
