2021 Map of Big Bald Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Big Bald Mtn and Little Bald Mtn dominate this high-altitude landscape within the southern reaches of the Ruby Mountains. The map reveals a complex drainage system defined by deep incisions like Mahoney Canyon and Water Canyon, where water sources were critical for early high-desert navigation. The presence of several distinct springs, including Mill Spring, Bourne Funnel Spring, and Cherry Spring, highlights the sparse but vital hydrology that once supported localized ranching and prospecting in White Pine County. The topography is marked by significant elevation changes, with the peaks serving as prominent landmarks for those traversing the canyon floors of Cherry Canyon or Martin Canyon. This survey provides a precise look at the township and range divisions, showing the grid established by the Bureau of Land Management against the irregular natural terrain of the Nevada backcountry.
