2021 Map of Moody Peak

About this map

Moody Peak and the high ridges of the Pancake Range dominate this interior Nevada landscape within Nye County. The area is defined by its vertical relief and essential water sources, with several named springs serving as the primary landmarks in this high-desert environment. Topographic details trace the steep elevations around Moody Mtn, where the terrain drops into canyons containing Buck Spring and Collins Spring. The mapping of these water points, including Mahogany Spring and Moody Spring, reflects their historical importance for survival and livestock in a region with few permanent settlements. Surveyed by the U.S. Geological Survey using modern imagery and elevation datasets, this map provides a clear record of public land boundaries and the natural drainage patterns of the Great Basin.
