2018 Map of Miller Mountain

About this map

Miller Mountain dominates the center of this high-desert landscape in Esmeralda County, standing as a prominent landmark between the Candelaria Hills to the north and the lower basins to the south. This 2018 survey documents a remote and arid portion of the Nevada interior, where the county line between Mineral and Esmeralda counties cuts diagonally across the rugged terrain. The survey highlights a sparse drainage network, most notably the seasonal flow of Pinchot Creek, which runs along the southern boundary. This map is particularly useful for understanding the complex topography of the Great Basin, where isolated peaks and dry creek beds like Pinchot Creek define the navigation and settlement patterns of the region.
