2018 Map of Dutch John Mountain

About this map

The high desert terrain of eastern Nevada is defined here by the meeting of the Schell Creek Range and the Ely Range, creating a rugged corridor of summits and basins. Central to this landscape is Dutch John Mtn, which towers over the drainage of Coyote Wash and the broad expanse of Muleshoe Valley. Water sources, while sparse, are critical landmarks in this environment, represented by the Grassy Spring Reservoir, South Milk Ranch Spring, and Chris Spring. The survey clearly delineates the high-altitude transit points used to navigate this territory, most notably Muleshoe Summit and Grassy Pass. This map captures the region's topographical character at the edge of Lake Valley, where the steep slopes of Grassy Mtn descend into wide, arid flats. The arrangement of springs and mountain passes illustrates the historic movement patterns through this remote section of Lincoln County.
