2014 Map of Park Mountain

About this map

Park Mtn and the northern reaches of the Park Range anchor this high-elevation terrain in Nye County. The landscape is defined by the steep relief of the Antelope Range to the northwest, where Moonshine Peak rises above the drainage of Moonshine Cr. Water sources are critical markers in this arid environment, with Silver Spring, Cottonwood Springs, and Tank Spring situated along the slopes and canyon floors. The presence of these named springs often indicates historically significant stopping points or livestock watering sites in the Great Basin. Deep incisions like Hildebrand Canyon and Long Canyon cut through the limestone and volcanic layers, while the elongated Big Fault Wash tracks the tectonic character of the region. This 2014 survey captures a sparsely populated territory where the natural topography and remote water sources dictate the land's utility.
