2014 Map of Hayford Peak SE

About this map

The Las Vegas Range dominates this portion of the northern Mojave Desert, where high-elevation landforms define the territory of southern Nevada. This 2014 survey captures a landscape of steep elevation changes, punctuated by summits like Quartzite Mtn and Bald Knob. Access into this arid interior is limited to a handful of unpaved routes, most notably Mormon Well Rd and Wamp Springs Rd, which follow the natural contours of the terrain. The presence of Mormon Pass in the northwest and the secluded Hidden Valley in the southeast suggests a complex topography of ridges and basins. North of the range, the playfully named Peek-a-boo Canyon cuts through the desert floor, offering a look at the drainage patterns that shape this protected wilderness area.
