About this map

The Diamond Mountains dominate this high-elevation landscape along the border of Eureka and White Pine Counties. At the center of the range stands Diamond Peak, a prominent landmark surrounded by a network of steep drainages including Hildebrand Canyon and Moritz Nager Canyon. The topography reveals a history of movement through these highlands, evidenced by Newark Summit and the aptly named Tollhouse Canyon, which suggests an era of controlled mountain transit.

To the east, the terrain descends into the Newark Valley, where scattered water sources like Stinson Spring provided vital points of relief in the arid environment. The map records several distinct summits such as Alpha Peak, Newark Mtn, and Fusulina Peak, while canyons like Mining Canyon hint at the extractive interests that often drew people into these remote Nevada ranges. The survey captures the complex drainage patterns of the western slopes, defined by Cottonwood Cr, Torre Cr, and Cherry Cr.
