2014 Map of Belmont East

About this map

Belmont and the surrounding high desert of Nye County are mapped here during the early 21st century, revealing a landscape defined by sharp elevation shifts and traditional water sources. The settlement sits on the western edge of the sheet, tucked against the Toiyabe National Forest boundary. Local history is anchored at Cem Hill, while the rugged hydrology of the region is marked by Combination Spring and the ephemeral drainage of Wattles Cr. The terrain transitions from the broad expanse of Monitor Valley in the north to the uplifted reaches of the McKinney Mountains in the south. Several distinct landmarks punctuate the topography, including the high points of Black Buttes and the descriptively named Horse Heaven, alongside deep cuts through the rock at Snowbird Canyon and White Rock Canyon.
