2018 Map of Dun Glen Peak

About this map

The East Range dominates this Nevada landscape, where the high point of Dun Glen Peak rises above a complex system of drainage and deep canyons. The northern end of the map is defined by the Humboldt River and the transit corridor of the Southern Pacific Company RR, illustrating the historical importance of this path for westward movement. To the south, the terrain becomes increasingly intricate as it transitions into the mineral-rich areas near Auld-Lang Syne Gulch. Numerous water sources, including Big Alkali Spring and Rasberry Spring One, suggest the vital role of specific springs in this arid environment. The naming of canyons like White Horse Canyon and Cosgrave Canyon points to a history of local exploration and land use, while the presence of Auburn Mine Rd provides a direct link to the region's long-standing mining activity.
