The northern edge of the Cherry Creek Range rises sharply above the high desert floor, creating the prominent landmark of Hunter Point. This 2014 survey documents a rugged and largely uninhabited section of White Pine County where the mountain slopes meet the wide expanse of Butte Valley. The terrain is characterized by steep contours and alluvial fans that drain toward Hunter Flat, illustrating the typical basin and range topography of eastern Nevada. Human activity is sparse, marked primarily by the path of Cr-19 as it skirts the foothills. This road provides the primary access to the interior valley, passing near the isolated Hunter Tank. The map reveals a landscape managed through the Public Land Survey System, with township boundaries like t21n r61e and t22n r61e defining the vast, open allotments of this arid region.
