2021 Map of Kinsley Mountains

About this map

Kinsley Mountains and the adjacent Goshute Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Elko County. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, rising from the flat expanse of the Antelope Valley to prominent heights at Kingsley Point and Rocky Peak. This environment relies on a sparse network of ephemeral water features, including the seasonal Antelope Wash and Kinsley Draw, which channel runoff toward Beers Reservoir. The cartography reveals a remote sector of Nevada where the public land survey system remains the primary human imprint, marking township and range boundaries across the scrubland and peaks. This map serves as a vital reference for understanding the physical geography and hydrology of the Great Basin during the early twenty-first century.
