About this map

The Silver Peak Range dominates this desert landscape, reaching a high point at Palmetto Peak in the southern portion of the quadrangle. This high-altitude terrain transition is marked by several distinct summits, including Harlans Peak, Pearsons Peak, and Jims Peak. To the north, the elevation drops toward the southern margins of Clayton Valley, a prominent endorheic basin. Infrastructure in this arid region of Esmeralda County is sparse, defined primarily by rugged thoroughfares like McAfee Rd and the Silver Peak-Oasis Divide Rd. The map illustrates a landscape of extreme relief and limited human development, where surveying is organized by the Public Land Survey System grids including t4s r38e and t5s r39e, reflecting the remote character of the Nevada backcountry in the 21st century.
