2014 Map of Mosey Mountain

About this map

Mosey Mtn anchors the southeastern landscape of this Lincoln County quadrangle, a territory defined by complex drainage systems and the high ridges of the Cedar Range. The map reveals a land dependent on scattered water sources such as Keel Spring, Chokecherry Spring, and Buckboard Spring, which appear as critical points in an otherwise arid expanse. Geologic features such as The Big Hogback and Miller Bench illustrate the dramatic elevation changes that dictate the movement of seasonal waters through Miller Spring Wash and Buckboard Wash. In this high desert environment, transportation is limited to established routes like Beaver Dam Rd and Oak Wells Rd, which navigate the gaps between peaks like Empy Mtn and Little Mtn. The detailed topographic contours highlight the navigational challenge of Empy Pass, providing a clear look at how the physical terrain has historically shaped access through this portion of eastern Nevada.
