2014 Map of Bellevue Peak

About this map

Fenstermaker Grave provides a solitary human focal point in this high-elevation landscape within the Fish Creek Range of Nevada. The terrain is defined by a succession of high points, including Bellevue Peak, White Cloud Peak, and Dave Keane Mtn, which overlook a network of canyons and hills. The availability of water in this arid environment is clearly mapped through several vital sources, such as Dave Keane Spring, Martelett Spring, and the lower-lying Fish Creek Springs near the banks of Fish Cr. The relationship between these springs and the adjacent peaks suggests a landscape where movement was dictated by the topography of the Mahogany Hills and the seasonal flow of high-desert water. The map's layout, split across several townships including t17n r52e and t16n r53e, captures the intricate relief of Lamoreux Canyon and the surrounding high country.
