2012 Map of Red Ring Mountain

About this map

Red Ring Mountain and the surrounding geological formations dominate this high-desert landscape in Nye County. The area is defined by its distinct volcanic and igneous topography, where the Andesite Ridge extends across the central terrain and the Rhyolite Hills rise to the southwest. This 2012 survey illustrates a sparsely settled region primarily shaped by natural drainage patterns and unpaved access routes. To the north, Twin Piñon Gulch carves through the land, providing a clear view of the natural watercourses that define the drainage of this arid environment. The map captures the quiet isolation of the Nevada interior, documenting the specific elevation markers and landform boundaries that are essential for understanding the region's physical geography before any modern development or industrial changes.
