2012 Map of Mount Jackson

About this map

Mount Jackson stands as the dominant topographical feature in this high desert region of Esmeralda County, overlooking a network of ephemeral drainages and dry crossings. The landscape is defined by the prominent Mount Jackson Ridge, which bisects the quadrangle, and the extensive path of Jackson Wash as it trends through the basin. This 2012 survey illustrates the sparse but critical human infrastructure of the area, notably the Iron Corral, which suggests the enduring role of ranching and livestock management in this arid environment. The map details a minimal road network, including State Route 266, which serves as a primary transit corridor through the otherwise open terrain, connecting isolated landmarks across the valley floor.
