2021 Map of Pilot Cone

About this map

Pilot Cone stands as a prominent topographical landmark in this arid portion of Mineral County, anchoring a landscape defined by volcanic landforms and scattered uplands. The terrain is characterized by the Rawhide Hills to the north and the Koegel Hills in the southern reaches, illustrating the typical basin and range structure of the Great Basin. The presence of Basalt Peak and Gundaker Hill suggests a complex geological history of basaltic flows and erosion that shaped these high-elevation features. This area is heavily defined by the Public Land Survey System, with numerous township and range divisions such as t13n r31.5e and t13n r32e marking the grid. These administrative boundaries reflect the systematic mapping and management of public lands in Nevada, where the sparse network of 4WD tracks and local roads provides the only access through the desert terrain.
