2011 Map of Copper Mountain

About this map

Copper Mountain rises above the arid landscape of western Nevada, anchoring this 2011 topographic study of Mineral County. The terrain is defined by the broad drainage patterns of Nugent Wash, which threads through the desert basins and cuts between the prominent elevations. To the south, the map details the distinct topography of Win Wan Valley, a wide basin flanked by rising slopes including Rand Ridge to the east. This modern U.S. Geological Survey edition utilizes high-resolution imagery and elevation data to track the network of unpaved roads and tracks that provide access to this mineral-rich region, illustrating the continued significance of the basin and range province's geological features.
