2014 Map of Mount Ferguson

About this map

Mt Ferguson dominates the southern landscape of this Mineral County quadrangle, situated within the high terrain of the Gabbs Valley Range. This area of Nevada is defined by its complex drainage systems and life-sustaining water sources, with numerous named springs appearing throughout the range, including Paint Rock Spring and McGregor Spring. The presence of Rhyolite Pass suggests the volcanic geological history of the region, while labels like Petrified Wash and Upper Petrified Spring point to significant fossilized remains in the local strata. The mapping captures a network of canyons and washes, such as Boundary Canyon and Paint Rock Canyon, that funnel toward the Gabbs Valley to the north. Only a few modern traces of transit are noted, specifically Rabbit Springs Rd, highlighting the high-elevation isolation of these peaks and basins.
