1990 Map of Mt. Moses

About this map

Mt Moses stands as the central landmark of this landscape within the Fish Creek Mountains, a region defined by complex drainage systems and evidence of historical prospecting. To the west, Jersey Valley transitions into the upland canyons, while the boundary between Pershing Co and Lander Co cuts directly through the high terrain. The map identifies specific mining activity with labels for a Mine Tunnel and various Prospects, indicating a history of resource exploration in the draws of Butcher Canyon and Jersey Canyon. Intermittent waterways like Jersey Wash and Cow Creek carve the alluvial fans, showing the seasonal hydrology of this Great Basin environment. The eastern slopes descend toward Cottonwood Basin via Cottonwood Pass, providing a detailed record of the unimproved roads and trails that connected these remote mining claims.
