About this map

The Selenite Range dominates this portion of northwestern Nevada, rising sharply from the alkali flats to the west. Along its rugged eastern slope, the Arcturus Mine stands as a marker of the region's mineral interests during the late twentieth century. To the northwest, the vast expanse of the Black Rock Desert meets the mountains, a landscape defined by its extreme isolation and dramatic elevation changes. The presence of Flowing Wells at the desert's edge suggests the critical importance of water sources in this arid basin-and-range environment.
