2018 Map of Moores Station SW

About this map

Hot Creek Valley occupies the central expanse of this High Desert landscape in Nye County, dominated by the drainage of Moores Station Wash. To the northwest, the boundary of the Toiyabe National Forest extends into the quadrangle, marking a transition into higher elevations. The topography is defined by significant rises such as Halligan Mesa in the south and Williams Ridge to the east, which sit below the distant peaks of the Needle Range. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain largely shaped by ephemeral watercourses and public land divisions, providing a clear view of the township and range grid including t9n r51e and t8n r52e. The lack of dense development underscores the area's character as an open corridor between mountain ranges, where the landscape remains primarily defined by its natural hydrology and geological formations.
