2018 Map of Rocky Hills

About this map

The Simpson Park Mountains dominate this high-desert terrain, where the peaks and canyons of Central Nevada are mapped with modern precision. The landscape is defined by a network of drainage systems and isolated water sources, including Cottonwood Spring, White Rock Spring, and Geyser Canyon Spring, which are critical landmarks in this arid environment. The northern portion of the map transitions into the broad Pine Valley, served by regional corridors like Cortez Beowawe Rd and Buckhorn Rd. Topographical features such as Twin Peaks and the eponymous Rocky Hills provide a clear view of the complex Great Basin geology. This survey records the ranching and resource-based infrastructure of Eureka County in the early 21st century, documenting the relationship between historic access roads and the rugged high-elevation canyons like Coal Canyon and Fye Canyon.
