About this map

Cornish Peak anchors this corner of the Stillwater Range, where the high desert terrain transitions into the wide, arid expanses of Buena Vista Valley and Antelope Valley. The geography is defined by deep incisions through the mountains, including Cornish Canyon, Hughes Canyon, and New York Canyon.

Evidence of historical transit is found in the northern reaches of the map, where the Old Emigrant Rd cuts across the valley floor. This route, alongside the Coal Canyon-Stillwater Rd and Fas-615, illustrates the sparse but critical network of roads connecting these remote basins. The map also marks the administrative boundary between Pershing County and Churchill County, highlighting the intersection of terrain and political geography in the Great Basin.
