2011 Map of Montezuma Peak SE

About this map

Jackson Wash defines the drainage of this arid landscape in Esmeralda County, cutting a winding path across the high desert terrain. The map area is primarily undeveloped, serving as a corridor for travel and natural runoff through this portion of Nevada. The only major evidence of human infrastructure is the Silver Peak-Railroad Springs Rd, which provides a traversable route through the basin. This survey records the minimalist character of the region in the early 21st century, illustrating how sparse settlements and infrastructure were in this specific corner of the Great Basin.
