2021 Map of Paymaster Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Pearl Hot Springs and Twin Springs mark a rare hydrologic presence in this arid portion of Esmeralda County, situated between the Weepah Hills and the floor of Clayton Valley. The landscape is dominated by the north-south alignment of Paymaster Ridge and Clayton Ridge, which channel drainage through Paymaster Canyon toward the lower desert basins. The presence of Alkali Lake in the northeast corner, within the Montezuma Valley, suggests a seasonal catchment area typical of the Great Basin's internal drainage systems. Remote access is provided by several named routes including Silver Peak Rd and Paymaster Canyon Rd, which navigate the elevation changes around Joes Peak. This terrain reflects the stark transition from high ridge lines to the edge of the Ralston Desert.
