2014 Map of Rock Hill

About this map

Columbus Salt Marsh dominates the southern reaches of this landscape, marking a stark contrast to the surrounding elevations. To the north and east, the terrain rises into the Monte Cristo Range, while the Candelaria Hills define the southwestern topography. The county boundary between Mineral Co and Esmeralda Co cuts diagonally across the northwestern corner of the sheet, providing a precise jurisdictional reference for local historians. Centrally located, Rock Hill serves as a prominent landmark amidst the high desert environment. The primary transit corridor is defined by Highway 95, which runs north-south through the center of the quadrangle, linking the salt marsh basins with the higher mountain passes. This survey illustrates the relationship between the low-lying alkali flats and the rugged western Nevada ranges during the early 21st century.
