2021 Map of Desert Peak

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

The arid landscape of the Fortymile Desert dominates this topographical view of Churchill County, reflecting the stark geographic character of the western Great Basin. The terrain is defined by the high elevations of the Hot Springs Mountains, where peaks such as Desert Peak and Green Hill rise above the surrounding basin floor. The northeastern portion of the sheet is marked by Cinnabar Hill, suggesting the geological mineral diversity common to this region of Nevada. Modern infrastructure is limited to the corridor along Frontage Rd and the interstate highway that bisects the desert plains, providing a clear contrast between the developed transportation routes and the expansive, undeveloped public lands. The map details the Public Land Survey System divisions, including sections of t23n r27e and t22n r28e, which serve as the primary framework for land ownership and boundary identification in this sparsely populated area.
