About this map

Mosey Mountain and the surrounding Cedar Range dominate this desert landscape in Lincoln County. The drainage network is clearly defined by several significant seasonal watercourses, including the extensive Miller Spring Wash and Buckboard Wash, which gather runoff from the high terrain. Geologic and topographic landmarks like The Big Hogback and Little Mountain provide clear navigational points across the territory.

Water sources are vital markers in this arid environment, with several named springs and small canyons recorded by the U. S. Geological Survey. Remote outposts and natural features such as Chokecherry Spring, Keel Spring, and Rabbit Spring are joined by the curiously named Miser Gulch. Movement through the range is channeled by Empy Pass, which sits between Empy Mountain and the higher peaks to the east, illustrating the natural corridors used for travel through this part of the Great Basin.
