2011 Map of Mineral Peak

About this map

The Pine Nut Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in the years before the region's most recent developments. This 2011 survey details a rugged terrain defined by prominent summits such as Bismark Peak and the namesake Mineral Peak. The distribution of water sources like Erastra Spring, Lebo Spring, and Pipe Spring reveals the critical points of hydrology for those navigating these slopes. Access to the interior is limited to a few primitive routes, most notably Sunrise Pass Rd, which winds through the western portion of the quadrangle. The vast Mineral Valley extends through the eastern side, showcasing the characteristic drainage patterns of the Nevada basin-and-range country. This data provides a clear record of the area's geography and existing infrastructure during the early 21st century.
