About this map

The McCullough Range dominates this landscape in southern Nevada, centered on the high point of McCullough Mtn. This high-elevation desert terrain is characterized by its vital water sources, with Railroad Spring, McCullams Spring, and Pine Spring providing crucial points of interest in an otherwise arid environment. The map details the complex topography where the mountains descend into the Ivanpah Valley to the west and the Mojave Desert to the east.

A sense of the region's infrastructure is visible through Powerline Rd, which cuts across the southern reach of the mountains toward Big Tiger Wash. In the southeast corner, the terrain begins its ascent into the New York Mountains. This survey provides a precise look at the land's contours and drainage patterns, documenting a remote section of Clark County before further modern development altered the character of these desert reaches.
