2018 Map of Gabbs Mountain

About this map

Gabbs Mtn and the Gabbs Valley Range dominate this arid landscape on the border of Nye and Mineral County. The terrain is defined by complex drainage systems such as Petrified Wash and Finger Rock Wash, which cut through the high desert toward the Stewart Valley. This 2018 survey reveals a territory primarily navigated via remote desert routes like Rawhide Rd and Fmc-Paradise Pk Rd, reflecting the area's ongoing importance for transit between isolated mountain ranges. Notable landmarks such as Petrified Summit and the singular Finger Rock provide essential orientation points in a region where water is a rare commodity, represented here by Petrified Spring. The map documents the persistent topography of the Great Basin, where land use remains tied to geology and intermittent water sources.
