2012 Map of Park Mountain

About this map

Park Mountain and the surrounding Park Range define this high-desert landscape in Nye County, where water is the primary architect of the terrain. The presence of multiple vital water sources like Silver Spring, Tank Spring, and Cottonwood Springs suggests the historical importance of this area for transit or livestock in an otherwise arid environment. Drainage patterns are dominated by the extensive Big Fault Wash and Moonshine Creek, which carve through the land near Moonshine Peak. Further south, the map reveals the transition into deep natural depressions such as Hildebrand Canyon and Long Canyon. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey and U.S. Forest Service captures the modern road network, including the Moonshine Crk route, providing a precise look at the topographical features and named landmarks like Crested Wheat Ridge.
