2014 Map of Moores Station

About this map

Moores Station serves as the focal point of this arid Nye County landscape, situated near the intersection of several prominent landforms including the Moores Station Buttes and the winding Moores Station Wash. The topography is defined by significant relief, with the Needle Range and Confusion Hills marking the eastern and northern reaches. To the west, the boundaries of the Toiyabe National Forest encompass numerous drainage systems like Morey Canyon and South Canyon. Notable landmarks such as Petroglyph Butte suggest the deep historical and cultural layers of this Great Basin environment. Small seasonal watercourses, including the vividly named Orange Lichen Cr, thread through the basins between high points like Cruiser Point and Shingle Buttes.
