About this map

Eddyville sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape, where the northern reaches of the Monte Cristo Range meet the prominent elevations of the Pilot Mountains. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain defined by its water sources and dramatic vertical relief, centered on the landmark Pilot Peak. The presence of numerous named water points, such as Dunlap Tunnel Spring, Mustang Spring, and Warlock Spring, suggests the critical importance of these features for land use and travel across the arid expanse of Esmeralda County and Mineral County.

The map details a network of deep drainage systems including Wide Canyon, Long Canyon, and Telephone Canyon. These geological features, alongside Dunlap Canyon, illustrate the complex drainage patterns that shape the high-elevation basins of western Nevada. The boundary between Mineral and Esmeralda counties cuts diagonally across the southern half of the quadrangle, providing a specific reference point for local administrative and land history research.
