2014 Map of Montezuma Peak SE

About this map

Goldfield Hills rise across the northeastern portion of this Nevada landscape, transitioning into the dry alluvial basins of the high desert. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of Jackson Wash, which cuts a prominent path from the northwest toward the center of the sheet, and the smaller China Wash in the southeast. These ephemeral watercourses illustrate the desert hydrology of Esmeralda County, where seasonal runoff shapes the land between the high peaks and the southern Cuprite Hills. Human activity is primarily represented by the linear path of Mt Jackson Rd, a critical desert route that traverses the area, providing access through the public lands and section boundaries of this arid region.
