2012 Map of Eddyville

About this map

Eddyville sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape in Esmeralda County, positioned among the drainage systems of the Pilot Mountains and the Monte Cristo Range. The map reveals a reliance on scattered water sources such as Warlock Spring, Mustang Spring, and Dunlap Tunnel Spring, which dictate the movement and settlement patterns within this arid terrain. Deep incisions like Wide Canyon, Telephone Canyon, and Long Canyon define the topography, leading up to the prominent Pilot Peak. This 2012 survey illustrates the modern road network navigating between these natural obstacles, providing a clear view of the geographic relationships between isolated water points and the high mountain peaks that overlook them.
