2018 Map of Mount Butte

About this map

The Montezuma Valley provides the setting for this high-desert region, where the prominent landmark of Mt Butte rises above the basin floor. Located along the border of Nye and Esmeralda counties, the landscape is defined by its distinct volcanic peaks and broad desert washes. To the north and east, the terrain elevates toward Table Mtn and Siebert Mtn, while the drainage of Slime Wash cuts through the flats. This 2018 survey captures a remote portion of the Nevada desert characterized by utility and transport corridors, including Gabbs Pole Line Rd and Miller's Cutoff. While few settlements appear on this specific sheet, the presence of named access roads like Paymaster Canyon Rd and Radar Rd indicates the area's continued use for ranching, mining access, or communications infrastructure.
