About this map

Notch Peak dominates the southern skyline of the House Range in this modern topographical study, showing a dramatic landscape defined by vertical relief and deep canyon systems. High-altitude basins like Amasa Valley and prominent summits including Pine Peak, Baldy, and Sawtooth Mtn characterize the interior of the range, which transitions into the broad expanse of the Tule Valley to the west.

Hydrological features are sparse but critical, anchored by Painter Spring and seasonal drainage routes like Marjum Canyon and Water Canyon. The transport network remains primarily utilitarian and rural, with Tule Valley Rd, Mile and a Half Rd, and the historic alignment of Old 6 & 50 providing access to the remote ridges. This survey details the complex geology of the Great Basin, where structural landmarks such as Orr Ridge and North Canyon shape the rugged interface between mountain and valley.
