2012 Map of Moody Peak NW

About this map

Little Smoky Valley dominates this high-desert landscape in Nye County, showing a vast drainage network of seasonal washes and ephemeral streams. The map traces a critical administrative boundary along the Fish Crk Ranch-Nye Cty Line, marking the transition between local ranching interests and county jurisdiction. Settlement here is sparse, defined primarily by the passage of Route 379 as it cuts across the arid basin. This 2012 survey illustrates the classic Great Basin geographic pattern of wide alluvial valleys bordered by rising terrain, where the infrastructure is limited to primitive roads and section lines typical of the Nevada interior.
