2021 Map of Mormon Dan Butte

About this map

Mormon Dan Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this desert landscape of Humboldt, Nevada. The terrain transitions from the low-lying Desert Valley in the northwest toward the high elevations of Blue Mtn in the south. This modern survey reveals a remote environment where water sources like Barbara Worth Spring and Donnell Spring are critical focal points in an otherwise arid expanse. The northern reaches are characterized by the Crescent Dunes, indicating active aeolian processes near the boundary of t38n r35e. The map illustrates a classic Great Basin topographic profile, where steep drainages like Blue Mountain Canyon cut through the uplifted range. This documentation is particularly useful for understanding contemporary land management and grazing patterns across the township and range divisions of this isolated portion of the Nevada desert.
