2014 Map of Powell Mountain NE

About this map

Wassuk Range and the Garfield Hills dominate this high-desert landscape in Mineral County, where steep drainage systems have carved deep corridors such as Bromide Canyon and Willow Canyon. The southern portion of the map encompasses a section of the Toiyabe National Forest, indicating a transition into protected mountainous terrain. A rigid grid of desert roads, including Middle Rd and various numbered avenues like 4th Ave S, suggests planned land divisions or access routes for mining and ranching interests typical of this Nevada region. Ephemeral water sources like Cottonwood Cr and Willow Cr provide the primary hydrologic features, winding through the canyons. The presence of Pole Line Rd underscores the infrastructure required to connect these remote mountain reaches with the wider utility grid.
