About this map

The Dave Keane Mountain Range dominates this portion of Eureka County, rising between the expansive Spring Valley to the west and Fish Creek Valley to the east. Surveyed in the late 1980s, the landscape is defined by its high desert hydrology and prospecting history. High points like Bellevue Peak and White Cloud Peak overlook a terrain marked by numerous unnamed prospect sites and prospects, signaling the region's enduring mining interest.

Water sources are vital landmarks in this arid environment, including Dave Keane Spring, Rock Spring, and Martelletti Spring. Near the eastern valley floor, the Fenstermaker Grave provides a poignant genealogical anchor near Fish Creek Springs. This area, accessed by unimproved roads and trails, reflects a rugged Nevada interior where small-scale mining and ranching infrastructure, such as the stock pond and various ruins, represent the primary human imprint on the land.
