About this map

Silver Peak Range dominates this corner of Esmeralda County, where high-elevation summits like Palmetto Peak and Harlans Peak define the landscape of the Great Basin. In the northern reaches, the terrain descends toward the arid floor of Clayton Valley, a region known for its unique mineral deposits and expansive salt flats. A single prominent artery, the Oasis Poleline Rd, cuts diagonally across the desert floor, tracing a path that follows the historical utility and transport corridors essential to this remote high-desert environment. This 2014 survey records the land before subsequent shifts in mining interest, preserving the exact placement of prominent landmarks such as Pearsons Peak and Jims Peak within the complex topography of the range.
