About this map

Belmont serves as the focal point of this Nevada high-desert survey, situated at the eastern edge of a landscape defined by dramatic canyons and historic remnants. The presence of the Old Courthouse and the Monitor Mill suggests a complex local history tied to civic life and the region's industrial past. The area is marked by significant topographical landmarks such as Mountain Priscilla and Devils Gate, which overlook the winding course of Silver Creek and the South Fork Silver Creek.

Genealogists and local historians can find specific burial grounds including Anderson Cemetery and Belmont Cemetery near Cemetery Hill. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages like Broad Canyon, Hillen Canyon, and the sprawling Bald Mountain Wash, while reliable water sources like Hunter Spring and Mexican Spring dot the landscape. Forest service roads such as NFD 440 RD provide the primary access through this remote portion of Nye County.
