2014 Map of Railroad Pass

About this map

The Diamond Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape, forming a natural boundary between Eureka and White Pine counties. This 2014 survey captures a terrain defined by its water sources and sharp relief, anchored by the prominent Diamond Peak in the southern portion of the range. The area is marked by a series of high-elevation peaks, including the sequentially named Etchemendy Number One through Etchemendy Number Four, which stand above deep-cut drainages such as Fourmile Canyon and Fivemile Canyon. To the east, the land descends into the Huntington Valley, where Huntington Cr flows near Arthur Spring. Numerous isolated water sources like Jim Swayne Spring and Little Joe Spring are scattered across the slopes, indicating the critical role of springs for livestock or wildlife in this arid environment. The map also traces the route through Railroad Pass, a key transit point connecting the rugged uplands with the valley floor.
