2014 Map of Cooper Peak

About this map

Cooper Peak and Western Peak anchor the southern reaches of this high-elevation landscape within the Roberts Mountains. The terrain transitions from the steep, drainage-cut slopes of the range into the wide expanse of the Denay Valley to the northwest. This 2014 survey reveals a network of essential water sources in an arid environment, including Upper Dry Creek Spring and Lower Dry Creek Spring, which have long served as vital points for livestock and wildlife. Movement through this portion of Eureka County is defined by remote thoroughfares like the Alpha Tonkin Rd and Bartine to JD Ranch Rd, tracing the edges of deep landforms such as Gabel Canyon. The presence of numerous named drainages like Birch Cr and Kelley Cr illustrates the complex hydrologic pattern that defines these Great Basin mountain blocks.
