2021 Map of Piper Peak

About this map

Piper Peak dominates this high-elevation landscape in the Silver Peak Range, where dramatic relief transitions into the Fish Lake Valley to the west. This 2021 survey documents a remote corner of Nevada characterized by deep drainage systems and vital water sources in an otherwise arid environment. High-altitude canyons including McAfee Canyon, Icehouse Canyon, and White Wolf Canyon cut through the range, while perennial water points like Jeff Davis Spring and Blind Spring indicate the scarce resources that historically supported movement through these mountains.
