2011 Map of Bell Mountain

About this map

Bell Mountain and the West Gate Range define this arid landscape in Churchill County, where high desert elevations meet the drainage of Gabbs Wash. This 2011 survey illustrates the modern transportation corridor cutting through the Great Basin, dominated by a primary highway route that follows the low-lying terrain between these prominent ranges. The sparse label set reflects a high-desert environment where water is the primary geographic driver, notably through the seasonal drainage system of the wash in the southeastern corner. The map provides a precise record of the topography and modern roadway alignment, showing how human infrastructure adapts to the significant vertical relief of the Nevada interior.
