2018 Map of Bell Mountain

About this map

The high desert landscape of Churchill County is dominated by the Bell Mtn massif and the northern reaches of the West Gate Range. This 2018 survey documents the complex topography of the Great Basin, where dramatic elevation changes define the local geography. To the southwest, the terrain levels out into Bell Flat, a prominent basin area, while the seasonal drainage of Gabbs Wash cuts through the southeastern corner of the quadrangle. The map is primarily characterized by its lack of modern development, showing a wilderness area defined by the Public Land Survey System grids of t16n r34e and t15n r35e. This edition provides a high-resolution view of the ridgelines and drainage patterns essential for navigating this interior part of Nevada.
