2011 Map of Mount Annie

About this map

The high peaks of the Monte Cristo Mountains and the prominent summit of Mount Annie anchor this high-desert landscape in Nye County. Water is the defining constraint of the terrain, marked by scattered vital points such as Cold Springs, Wedell Springs, and Rawhide Hot Springs. These desert reaches were navigated by trail and intermittent drainages like Phillips Wash, which cuts across the basin floor toward the Black Hills in the south. The mapping of Mud Windmill suggests the enduring necessity of cattle ranching or range management infrastructure in an environment where natural surface water is rare. The structural character of the land is further defined by Fissure Ridge, providing a detailed look at the geological features that have historically influenced movement and settlement patterns throughout this corner of Nevada.
