2021 Map of Blue Eagle Mountain

About this map

Blue Eagle Mtn and the Grant Range dominate this high-desert landscape in northeastern Nye County, where steep ridgelines descend into the broad expanse of Railroad Valley. The map reveals a vital network of isolated water sources essential for survival in this arid environment, including Box Canyon Spring, Cazier Spring, and Morgan Spring. These springs, often located at the mouths of steep drainages like Box Canyon and Beaty Canyon, historically served as critical waypoints for early travelers and livestock operations crossing through the Great Basin. This recent survey also highlights prominent topographical markers such as Tank Summit and Bald Mtn, which define the rugged divide between the valley floor and the high peaks of the interior range.
