About this map

The Fox Range dominates this corner of Nevada, where the high desert terrain meets the eastern edge of the Smoke Creek Desert. Centered on the 7,608-foot summit of Pah-Rum Peak, the map reveals a landscape defined by seasonal hydrology and resource extraction. The Wild Horse Canyon Mine sits near the western slopes, supported by a network of water sources including Wild Horse Canyon Spring and Roseberry Spring.

Drainage patterns across the range are intricately detailed, with narrow canyons like Rattlesnake Canyon and Little Rattlesnake Canyon cutting through the eastern slopes toward the basin. The high-altitude Juniper Flat and Mud Trough Spring provide evidence of the scattered vital points for livestock or prospectors navigating this arid environment. This 1990 edition, based on earlier aerial photography, captures the enduring character of the Great Basin wilderness before modern development altered its remote profile.
