The Cortez Mts and Simpson Park Mts anchor this high-desert landscape in central Nevada, where the 1950s ranching and mining infrastructure is meticulously recorded. The terrain is a complex arrangement of dry basins and mountain ranges, with Horse Creek Valley and Garden Valley providing the primary corridors for travel along the Cortez-Beowawe Road. Evidence of mineral exploration is scattered throughout the northern slopes, notably at the Buckhorn Mine and several unnamed prospects and tunnels near the peaks.
