2014 Map of Mud Lake NW

About this map

Klondyke Hills and the Southern Klondyke Hills dominate this portion of the high Nevada desert, providing a detailed look at the relief and terrain south of Tonopah. In a landscape defined by aridity, Gold Reef Spring appears near the base of Gold Mtn, a critical water source for prospectors and wildlife in an otherwise unforgiving environment. The southern edge of the sheet transitions into the vast Ralston Desert, while the primary transportation artery, Highway 95, cuts through the western sections of the map. This 2014 survey documents the enduring physical landmarks of the Silver State's mining heartland, where the proximity of the Esmeralda and Nye County line marks a historically significant boundary for local land claims and historical mapping.
