2014 Map of Highland Peak

About this map

Highland Peak stands as the dominant summit in this high-altitude landscape of Lincoln County, anchoring the southern end of the Highland Range. The map reveals a region defined by its verticality and historic mining access, with several named routes like Mendha Mine Rd and Comet Mine Rd carving through the steep terrain to reach remote sites. The settlement of Mendha sits on the eastern flank near The Point, while the northern portion of the sheet is occupied by the southern reaches of the Bristol Range. Water sources are sparse but critical, marked by scattered mountain springs such as Highland Spring, Floral Spring, and Deadman Spring. This 2014 survey documents a rugged Nevada interior where deep-cut drainages like Sheridan Canyon and Wood Canyon create a complex network of relief between the high peaks and the Pioche Hills.
