2011 Map of Ragged Top Mountain

About this map

Ragged Top Mountain dominates the landscape of this high-desert region in Pershing County, Nevada, where the arid slopes of the Trinity Range transition into the broad expanses of the Great Basin. This 2011 survey documents a sparsely populated but geographically significant area, primarily characterized by ephemeral drainages and the winding path of Ragged Top Rd. The absence of dense settlement highlights the remote nature of this part of the state, serving as a primary record of the topographic contours and the essential access routes used for mining or ranching activity in the early twenty-first century. For those studying the geography of Northern Nevada, the map provides a precise look at the landforms and limited human infrastructure in this section of the range.
