2011 Map of Manhattan Mountain

About this map

The Reese River carves a narrow valley through the high desert terrain of Lander County, serving as the primary geographical anchor for this section of the Great Basin. Remote outposts like Mitchels Ranch demonstrate the enduring reliance on scarce water sources in an arid landscape dominated by the peaks of Manhattan Mountain and Ravenswood Peak. The map highlights a series of vital watering points, including Steiner Spring, Meadow Spring, and Bradley Spring, which traditionally supported movement through the Ravenswood area and into Bernd Canyon. This survey captures the rural character of the Nevada interior, where land use is defined by isolated ranching and the topographic rise of the central ranges.
