2018 Map of Mount Grant

About this map

Mt Grant towers over this section of the Wassuk Range in Mineral County, defining a landscape of extreme verticality and deep drainage systems. The survey detail illustrates a complex network of canyons and gulches, including Cottonwood Creek Canyon and House Creek Canyon, which funnel seasonal runoff toward the desert floor. High-altitude features like Lapon Meadows and Wheeler Pass indicate the high-country routes and grazing lands used within these mountains. The drainage pattern is particularly intricate in the southeast, where N Fork Cat Cr, Middle Fork Cat Cr, and S Fork Cat Cr converge into Cat Cr. This map is an essential reference for understanding the physical geography and topographic barriers of this interior Nevada range during the early 21st century.
