About this map

The settlement of Belmont anchors this high-desert landscape in Nye County, offering a detailed look at the infrastructure of a historic mining district. Positioned near the eastern edge of the Toiyabe National Forest, the map traces vital transport links such as the Historical Stage Route and the Belmont Shortcut, which connect the town to the surrounding terrain. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of the Anderson Cem and the Belmont Cem located at the base of Cemetery Hill.

The geography transitions from the northern canyons, including Hillen Canyon and Broad Canyon, down toward the Ralston Valley and the Ralston Desert. Notable landmarks such as Devils Gate and Mtn Priscilla define the local horizon, while a network of resource-oriented roads like Mine Shaft Road and Drill Hole Road speak to the area's industrial legacy. Water sources are scarce but critical, marked by Mexican Spring, Hunts Spring, and Keller Spring across the arid flats.
