1990 Map of Mt. Augusta

About this map

The Alpine Mountains dominate this high-desert Nevada landscape, culminating at the summit of Mt Augusta. This 1990 provisional edition, based on earlier aerial photography and field checks from the late 1980s, reveals a terrain defined by steep canyons and vital water sources in an otherwise arid region. The drainage patterns are clearly visible, with Sage Hen Creek and Horse Creek cutting through the slopes, while named canyons like Florence Canyon and Starr Canyon create a complex network of ridges.
