2012 Map of Highland Peak

About this map

Highland Peak and the Highland Range dominate this high-altitude landscape in Lincoln County, where the topography is defined by a series of steep canyons and isolated springs. The map reveals a history of land use focused on mining and ranching, evidenced by features such as Wheeler Mill and Wheeler Ranch located near Water Canyon. This early 21st-century survey documents the network of primitive roads and trails that traverse the complex terrain, connecting sites like Mendha and Montgomerys Cabin. The presence of numerous vital water sources, including Floral Spring and Connor Spring, highlights the critical infrastructure required for survival in this arid Nevada interior. Notable geological landmarks like Arizona Peak and Comet Peak serve as primary anchors for understanding the local physical geography.
