About this map

Bloody Run Peak dominates the high-elevation terrain of the Santa Rosa Range in this north-central Nevada survey. The landscape is defined by its dramatic verticality, as deep drainages like Pinson Canyon, Crossover Canyon, and Paiute Canyon carve through the mountains toward the alluvial flats below. The eastern portion of the map is occupied by the Bloody Run Hills, which separate the rugged interior from the broad expanse of the Silver State Valley to the west.

Isolated water sources such as Bathtub Spring and seasonal drainages including Bloody Run Cr and Paiute Cr are the primary landmarks in this arid environment. Human activity is represented by sparse tracks like Sand Pass Rd and Betes Rd, illustrating the characteristic desert transportation network that skirts the base of the mountains to avoid the steep relief of Granite Peak and the surrounding Bloody Run Canyon.
