About this map

The East Range dominates this portion of the Great Basin, where the high point at Dun Glen Peak overlooks a landscape defined by deep drainage systems and vital desert water sources. In the southeast, the evocatively named Auld Lang Syne Gulch and Dun Glen Canyon emphasize the area's prospecting history, with Auburn Mine Rd providing access to the rugged interior. These geographic markers trace the path of early miners and ranchers who relied on the scattered springs that punctuate the arid terrain.

Water distribution is centered on a series of numbered seeps including Rasberry Spring One, Rasberry Spring Two, and Rasberry Spring Three, which feed into the larger Raspberry Creek system. To the north, the Humboldt River skirts the edge of the range near Big Alkali Spring. The proximity of White Horse Canyon and Little White Horse Canyon further illustrates the complex erosional patterns typical of this Nevada mountain block.
