2014 Map of Mount Moses

About this map

Mt Moses dominates the southern landscape of this central Nevada terrain where the boundary between Pershing Co and Lander Co cuts diagonally across the Great Basin. This high-desert region is defined by the steep slopes of the Fish Creek Mountains, which drop off into the expansive Cottonwood Basin and Jersey Valley Wash. The sparse but vital water sources of the era are clearly marked, including the Hot Spring near Home Station Ranch and several drainages such as Cow Cr and Jersey Cr Wash. The presence of established routes like Butcher Canyon Rd and Fish Creek Rd suggests a landscape managed for ranching and transit through the high passes. Significant topographical features like Cottonwood Pass and North Fork Butcher Canyon illustrate the complex drainages and elevations that shaped local travel and land use in this part of the state.
