About this map

Mineral Peak and the high ridges of the Pine Nut Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape southeast of Carson City. The map reveals a rugged backcountry where various drainage systems, including Sullivan Canyon and Eldorado Canyon, cut through the terrain toward the surrounding valleys. A triple county junction is captured here, where the borders of Carson City, Lyon, and Douglas counties converge near Bismark Peak.

Surface water is sparse in this environment, represented by isolated points like Erastra Spring, Lebo Spring, and Pipe Spring. The primary corridor through these heights is Sunrise Pass Rd, which provides access to the higher elevations and the broad sweep of Mineral Valley. This survey provides a modern topographical record of the section lines and township boundaries that still define land management in this part of Nevada.
