2018 Map of Montezuma Peak SE

About this map

Silver Peak - Railroad Springs Rd cuts across this high-desert landscape in Esmeralda County, marking a historic transportation corridor through the arid basin. The terrain is defined by the volcanic rises of the Goldfield Hills in the northeast and the Cuprite Hills to the southeast, separated by wide alluvial stretches. Water drainage patterns are traced by the seasonal paths of Jackson Wash and China Wash, which indicate the natural flow of runoff from the surrounding peaks. This 2018 survey illustrates the persistent isolation and rugged character of the Nevada desert, where land use is primarily defined by the Public Land Survey System grids of Township 4 and 5 South.
