2011 Map of Paradise Peak

About this map

Paradise Peak dominates the high desert terrain of central Nevada in this 2011 survey of northwestern Nye County. The landscape is defined by a critical network of water sources, essential for survival and navigation in this arid region, including Baxter Spring in the north and Coyote Spring in the south. These springs, alongside others like Fifteenmile Spring and Timber Spring, often dictate the placement of local routes and land usage. The map illustrates a sparse but vital transportation network, notably the NFD 075 TRL and various forest service access roads. While modern in its production, the topographic detail reveals the same drainage patterns, such as Antelope Wash, that have shaped this portion of the Great Basin for centuries, providing a clear record of the area's natural landmarks and the named springs that remain its most significant features.
