2012 Map of Mount Jefferson

About this map

Mount Jefferson dominates this high-altitude landscape of Nye County, where the terrain reaches its peak at the North Summit, Middle Summit, and South Summit. The drainage patterns define the geography here, with Moores Creek and Anderson Creek flowing from the northwestern slopes, while South Fork Pine Creek and North Fork Pine Creek carve through the eastern face. These water sources sustained early ranching outposts like Moores Creek Ranch and Pine Creek Ranch, which appear as isolated points of human activity in an otherwise high-elevation wilderness.
