2012 Map of Mount Moriah

About this map

Mount Moriah stands as the dominant topographical feature in this high-elevation corner of White Pine County, where a complex network of drainages and springs defines the remote terrain. The eastern slopes are marked by deep incisions such as Rye Grass Canyon and Deep Canyon, while the western side features the Mount Moriah Mining Area and distinctive formations like The Table. This landscape is fundamentally shaped by its water sources, with vital points like Ungopah Spring, Chalk Spring, and Tiarnleys Spring providing rare reliable moisture in an otherwise arid environment. The map details a rugged drainage system where N Fork Smith Cr and Deadman Cr have carved significant paths through the mountain massif, illustrating the geological processes and seasonal water movements typical of the Great Basin's high ranges.
