2018 Map of Big Kasock Mountain

About this map

Big Kasock Mtn serves as the focal point for this Great Basin landscape, where the northern Basin and Range topography transitions across the boundary of Churchill and Mineral counties. The high ridges of the Sand Springs Range dominate the western portion of the map, featuring the Sand Springs Range Cairn as a significant survey marker. To the east, the terrain descends into the broad expanse of Fairview Valley and the smaller Little Bell Flat, separated by the lower Sinkavata Hills. This 2018 survey reveals a desert landscape primarily defined by its natural landforms and remote access points like Ryan Canyon Rd and Contact Canyon, illustrating the sparse infrastructure common to these interior high-desert basins.
