2012 Map of Mount Butte

About this map

Slime Wash defines the drainage patterns of this high-desert landscape near Tonopah, cutting through the arid terrain between prominent elevations. The area is anchored by Mount Butte in the south and the distinct plateau of Table Mountain to the east. Transportation and aviation infrastructure highlight the human footprint in this corner of Nye County, centered around the Lambertucci Airstrip. This regional hub for small craft is connected by a network of rural routes and thoroughfares including Miller's Cutoff and Paymaster Canyon Rd. The map illustrates a modern era of desert transit, where local access roads like Sage Dr meet larger logistical arteries, reflecting the continued utility of these remote basins for aviation and transit in the early twenty-first century.
