About this map

Mt Lewis dominates the high desert terrain of the Shoshone Range in this modern topographic study of Lander County. The high-altitude settlement of Hilltop is positioned near the center of the quadrangle, serving as a focal point for the surrounding network of canyons and peaks. The landscape is defined by its water sources and drainage patterns, including Indian Box Spring, Tunnel Spring, and the winding course of Rock Cr.

A notable north-south transport corridor is traced by Hill Top Rd, which navigates the complex topography between Maysville Summit and Crum Canyon. The map details the sharp elevation changes common in this part of Nevada, from the low reaches of Corral Canyon to the summits of Havingdon Peak and O'Haras Peak, providing clear insight into the geographic isolation and rugged orientation of these interior mountain ranges.
