2011 Map of Piper Peak

About this map

Piper Peak dominates this high-altitude landscape in Esmeralda County, providing a clear look at the drainage patterns and terrain of the Silver Peak Range as they appeared in 2011. The topography is defined by significant elevations, including Sugar Peak to the south and the dramatic corridor of McAfee Canyon cutting through the western portion of the quadrangle. These features reflect the stark, arid environment of the Great Basin, where water sources are vital but sparse.
