About this map

Belmont serves as the primary landmark on this eastern Nye County landscape, situated near the intersection of State Hwy 82 and NFD 230 Rd. The industrial heritage of the area is evident through the presence of the Combination Mill and Highbridge Mill, located just south of the main settlement. These sites, coupled with the nearby Combination Spring, suggest a history tied to resource extraction and processing in the high desert terrain.

To the north, the prominent peaks of Black Buttes overlook Snowbird Canyon, while the southern reaches transition into the evocatively named Horse Heaven. The topography is further defined by several drainage systems, including White Rock Canyon and the winding course of Wattles Creek. For those tracing local history, Cemetery Hill provides a specific point of interest adjacent to the town site, anchoring the community's past to this specific geographic coordinate.
