2018 Map of Quartz Mountain NW

About this map

Broken Hills anchors the southern portion of this high-desert Nevada landscape, where the terrain transitions toward the rugged East Gate Range in the northeast. The geography is defined by arid drainage patterns, most notably the seasonal Gabbs Wash that winds through the central valley. Small but vital water sources like Mud Spring are identified, hinting at the historical importance of such features for early travelers and prospectors in Churchill County. Distinctive geological landmarks including Iron Rock and the peak at Grayback provide navigational markers across this sparsely populated section of the Great Basin, which remained largely undeveloped into the early 21st century.
