About this map

Mount Lewis and the high ridges of the Shoshone Range dominate this interior Nevada landscape within Lander County. The area is defined by a series of steep drainages including Crum Canyon, Bateman Canyon, and Slaven Canyon, which cut through the high-elevation terrain. This 2014 survey documents a network of isolated springs such as Cherry Spring, Tunnel Spring, and Indian Box Spring, which serve as critical water sources in an otherwise arid environment.

Historic points of interest are scattered across the peaks, most notably the high-altitude site at Hilltop and the nearby Maysville Summit. The map illustrates the complex topography surrounding Havingdon Peak and O'Haras Peak, showing the relative isolation of the region through the sparse presence of NV-304. These features collectively represent a portrait of the Great Basin's mining and ranching geography, where named landmarks like Corral Canyon and Dixie Pass delineate early transport and grazing routes through the mountains.
