2018 Map of Belmont East

About this map

Belmont occupies the western edge of this 2018 survey, positioned near the foot of Cemetery Hill within the Toiyabe National Forest. The landscape is defined by the high desert topography of the McKinney Mountains and the broad expanse of the Monitor Valley to the northeast. Transportation through this part of Nye County relies on State Hwy 82 and the historic Freight Route, which cuts across the central and southern sections of the quadrangle. Named water sources like Combination Spring and drainage systems such as Wattles Cr suggest the vital role of water management in this arid environment. The map also features several notable topographic landmarks, including the curiously named Horse Heaven in the southwest and the rugged corridors of Snowbird Canyon and White Rock Canyon, providing a clear record of the area's geological and human geography.
