2023 Map of Mount Grant

About this map

Mount Grant dominates the high-elevation landscape of the Wassuk Range in Mineral County, overlooking a complex network of canyons and springs. This modern survey illustrates the rugged interface between military lands and wilderness, specifically where the Hawthorne Army Depot boundary intersects the steep eastern slopes. Water sources are critical landmarks in this arid environment, with drainage patterns flowing through Cottonwood Creek Canyon and Lapham Canyon, feeding sites like Lapham Meadows. The map provides clear detail of the high ridges, including Pike Peak and Wheeler Pass, which have historically served as the primary transit corridors through these mountains. To the south, numerous forks of Cat Creek and Rattlesnake Creek reveal the deeply dissected terrain that defines the southern reaches of the range.
