2021 Map of Mount Hamilton

About this map

Shermantown and the high peaks of the White Pine Range define this high-altitude Nevada landscape, where historical mining and ranching interests are etched into the terrain. The transition from the broad flats of Railroad Valley to the steep eastern ridges is marked by a complex network of canyons, including Rocco Canyon and Shermantown Canyon. Water sources such as Monte Cristo Spring, Hoppe Spring, and Green Spring appear as vital points in the arid environment, essential for the livestock and mining operations that once populated this section of the Humboldt National Forest. Specialized access routes like the South Access Monte Cristo Mine Trl and Drill Hole Trail highlight the area's geological exploration and industrial history. The map also traces prominent geological features like Pogonip Ridge and Babylon Ridge, offering clear detail for those studying the rugged interior of the Great Basin.
