2021 Map of Burnt Cabin Summit

About this map

The Desatoya Mountains dominate this high-desert intersection of central Nevada, where the ridgelines of the Paradise Range descend toward the floor of the Lodi Valley. This 2021 survey captures a complex jurisdictional meeting point where the boundaries of Nye, Churchill, Mineral, and Lander counties converge in a series of straight-line survey divisions. The southern portion of the map is anchored by the protected lands of the Toiyabe National Forest, showing the transition from the high peaks near Black Butte down into the expansive Smith Creek Valley. A primary mountain passage is marked at Burnt Cabin Summit, reflecting the historic importance of these gaps for transport across the Great Basin. The landscape is characterized by its dramatic elevation changes, from the isolated Lodi Hills to the rugged summits that define these distinct basin-and-range formations.
