2018 Map of Mount Irish

About this map

Mt Irish and the Timpahute Range anchor this high-desert landscape in Lincoln County, where seasonal water sources and steep relief define the terrain. The central Wild Horse Valley is accessed via the unpaved Cold Spring Rd, a route that connects several dispersed water features including Schaefer Spring and Horse Springs. The map illustrates a classic Great Basin environment where human movement is dictated by these rare springs and the natural corridors through the peaks. To the east, the terrain rises toward Sanderson Mtn and drops into the aptly named Silver Canyon, which leads toward Silver Hill. These names suggest the region's historical ties to mining and prospecting, while the presence of Logan Pass indicates the vital transit points used to navigate these mountains.
