About this map

Monitor Range dominates the western portion of this mid-century survey, defining the high-altitude geography of central Nevada along the boundary of Eureka and Nye counties. The landscape is characterized by a network of steep drainages like Copenhagen Canyon and Ryegrass Canyon that descend toward the broad Antelope Valley to the east. Isolated springs and wells provide the lifeblood for high-desert ranching, supporting established sites like Martin Ranch and Segura Ranch.
